文摘

Under the background of low-carbon economy, carbon productivity is a core criterion of the quality of economy growth. Based on panel data released from 1998 to 2012, carbon productivity in industrial sector is measured by the data envelopment analysis method based on directional distance function, under total factor productivity framework. For technological progress is an important impetus of productivity improvements, we do an analysis of technological progress route alternative issue about carbon productivity promotion in China’s industrial sector. Our main findings are as follows. Firstly, the carbon productivity, which is estimated under the research framework of total factor productivity, is significantly lower than the single element carbon productivity. Secondly, the major representation of technological progress in China’s industrial sector lies in capitalized embodied progress. Finally, capitalized embodied technological progress has a tremendous impact on carbon productivity. Looking ahead, the Chinese government should adopt measures to increase the amount of imported advanced equipment and improve domestic manufacturing level of equipment.KeywordsCarbon productivityTechnological progressPanel data modelDirectional distance function
