The purpose of this study is to reveal the impact economic-growth pressure on green total factor productivity (GTFP) provide a reference for promoting development in China. Based objective-management perspective, paper takes panel data 249 cities China from 2006 2019 as sample, using directional distance function and Malmquist–Luenberger Productivity Index measure GTFP, then dual fixed-effect m...

Factors of production and elasticity substitution play an essential role in economic growth accounting. Although functions with constant between factors are more commonly utilized accounting, studies based on variable also conducted. Since provide flexibility parameters, they advantageous than other functions. Besides, most focus the capital labor. Studies sub-components relatively few. In this...

This paper examines the importance of factor mobility within countries for the manifestation of agglomeration and location effects emphasized in the new economic geography literature. Working with a model of trade under monopolistic competition, the relationship of factor mobility (in particular labor) to industry adjustment and relocation is developed analytically, and then illustrated with a ...

There has recently been a resurgence of interest in how institutions affect economic performance. A review of this literature reveals that the concept of an “institution” means different things to different scholars, both within economics and across the social sciences. We discuss what factors unify the different definitions of institutions, and develop a concept of institutions useful for the ...

An obvious way of introducing dynamics in the standard factor analysis is to allow a realization of the common factors at a specific time interval to work its way through to the observed variables in several time periods. A problem arises however, when represen...
