Improvement Path of Green Total Factor Productivity in Transportation from the Perspective of Configuration
From the configuration perspective,based on the green total factor productivity(GTFP)of transportation in 30 Chinese provinces from 2010 to 2019 measured DEA-Malmquist model,the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis(fsQCA)was used to explore the influence mechanisms of seven influencing factors on transportation GTFP:regional econo-my,industrial structure,transportation investment,technological innovation,informatization level,environmental con-straint,and government support.It finds that the necessity test indicates that individual variables have poor explanatory power for changes in transportation GTFP.The facilitative configuration results show three paths of transportation GTFP im-provement:L1,transportation investment-IT support path;L2,economy-led-environmental regulation path;L3,social-economic development-environmental regulation-government support path.The suppression configuration results show six transportation GTFP suppression paths.Beijing,Tianjin,and Chongqing should strengthen pollution control to avoid en-tering the inefficient development path.
