Based on the ten classifications of assets, we use different hyperbolic efficiency decreasing parameters and average service life, respectively simulate the age-efficiency function, age-price function and age-depreciation rate function of the ten major asset groups to estimate the net capital stock of China, and then recalculate the total factor productivity. This study finds that since 1978, China's net capital stock has increased significantly, it has increased from 497.7 billion yuan in 1978 to 15,847.6 billion yuan in 2016, with an average annual growth rate of 9.5%. And the growth rate of TFP has been declining in general since 1992, then it has gradually stabilized at more than two percentage points around 2012, and the average contribution rate has remained above 30%.Compared with other studies using the gross capital stock to overestimate the TFP, the results of this paper can help to understand the real situation of TFP in China. This study promotes the capital accounting from the gross accounting to the net accounting, and is of great significance for the preparation of national and local balance sheets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
