Measuring industrial green total factor productivity in the context of the “two‐carbon” target: A case study of energy revolution reform pilot area, China

Abstract Since the “double carbon” target was proposed in 2020, emissions reduction has become focus of Chinese government's work. Industrial development is a crucial factor contributing to increase carbon emissions. Therefore, implementing industrial sector an important part China's goal carbon.” In this context, paper uses three‐stage data envelopment analysis model calculate green total productivity (GTFP) 18 industry sectors Shanxi Province. The results show that: (1) external environment influence on GTFP energy revolution reform pilot area sectors, and efficiency value two industries overestimated before excluding environmental factors; (2) difference significant, among which pharmaceutical manufacturing greatest promoting effect GTFP, ferrous metal mining dressing inhibiting GTFP; (3) there serious redundancy R&D investment China, only six belong zero redundancy. (4) To reflect various more clearly, divides four industries: “Double‐high” industry, “High‐low” “Low‐high” “Double‐low” industry.
