Abstract

On the basis of a theoretical analysis, this paper develops an indicator framework for measuring informatization level and estimates the informatization levels of various regions in China spanning 2006 to 2019; Utilizing the DEA-Malmquist index approach, the paper estimates the TFP of various regions in China and decomposes it into technological progress and technical efficiency. The findings reveal an annually increasing level of informatization in China, with higher presence in the east and lower in the west. The influence of informatization on TFP presents a positive "U" -shaped feature, but the turning point of the eastern region is earlier than that in the central and western regions. The level of informatization also has a spatial spillover effect on TFP, similarly presenting a positive "U" shape. The article offers pertinent policy suggestions aiming to promote China's TFP through informatization.
信息化对全要素生产率的影响及其区域差异——基于中国数据的实证研究
在理论分析的基础上,构建了衡量信息化水平的指标框架,并对2006 - 2019年中国各地区信息化水平进行了估算;本文利用DEA-Malmquist指数法估算了中国各地区的全要素生产率,并将其分解为技术进步和技术效率。调查结果显示,中国的信息化水平逐年上升,东部较高,西部较低。信息化对全要素生产率的影响呈正“U”型特征,但东部地区的拐点要早于中西部地区。信息化水平对全要素生产率也存在空间溢出效应,同样呈正“U”型。本文提出了针对性的政策建议,旨在通过信息化促进中国全要素生产率的提高。
