Abstract

With the further acceleration of urbanization process in China, the number of big cities and population are expanding rapidly and the development of small and medium-sized cities is slow. As a result, a phenomenon of polarization appears and each city also presents different characteristics of economic development. This paper focuses on the analysis of green TFP growth under different urban scales. Firstly, this paper analyzes the relationship between urban scale and green TFP, and calculates and decomposes the green TFP growth of 275 cities in China based on CRS-ML exponential model, and then respectively carries out analysis and comparative analysis of the green TFP growth of four different types of cities. Finally, the conclusion is that the driving force of urban green TFP growth mainly stems from technological progress, and efficiency has become the bottleneck restricting its growth; there are significant differences in TFP growth, efficiency and technology between cities of different sizes. Over time, it shows the characteristics of repeated fluctuations, and the reasons are analyzed. Finally, this paper puts forward corresponding policy recommendations.
