“…By combing the exiting literatures on FDI and green total factor productivity, it can be seen that the current conclusions are mainly divided into two aspects. First, FDI has promoted the improvement of GTFP, mainly through technology spillovers [16][17][18][19][20]. On the other hand, many scholars have come to the conclusion that FDI shows an inhibitory effect on GTFP [21][22][23][24].…”

The outbreak of COVID-19 has had an immeasurable impact on the global economy. It has damaged parts of the real economy, but also provided new opportunities for China’s green development. Both the system and foreign direct investment (FDI) have an important impact on China’s green recovery path. Based on the provincial panel data of China from 2007 to 2016, this paper uses a slacks-based measure (SBM) model and Malmquist–Luenberger (ML) index to measure the green total factor productivity (GTFP), and empirically analyzes the regulatory role of system in the influencing mechanism of FDI on GTFP. The results show that the overall level of FDI significantly inhibits the improvement of GTFP, and the interaction between system and FDI makes it shift from inhibition to promotion, but the promotion would be weakened with the improvement of the system. FDI in the eastern region shows a positive effect on GTFP, which will be weakened with the improvement of the system. FDI in central and western regions shows a negative effect on GTFP, and the negative effect in western regions will be increased with the improvement of the system. Then this article puts forward targeted policy suggestions for further improving the level of regional systems and introducing FDI of high quality.

“…In addition, some relevant variables to control the impact of green credit on GTFP are also introduced. Due to the numerous influencing factors of GTFP, five control variables are added, namely environmental regulation, FDI, GDP, industrial structure, and human capital into the modeling process based on the existing research (Kong et al, 2021;Yu et al, 2021). The detailed description and calculation methods of the above variables are shown in Table 2.…”

“…Innovation promotes GTFP; whereas economic policy uncertainty inhibits GTFP based on research of 30 provinces in China from the period 2005 to 2016 (Yuan et al, 2021), as well as the revelatory from its affect on the corporate risk-taking and carbon futures prices (Wen et al, 2021a;Wen et al, 2021b). Base on the research of 285 Chinese cities from 2003 to 2017, green technology progress is conducive to the improvement of urban GTFP (Yu et al, 2021). Besides, the major crisis events and important political and economic events also have certain influence on market, exchange rate and global efficiency (Li et al, 2020b;Hou et al, 2021;Zheng et al, 2021), which effect GTFP indirectly to some extent.…”

Understanding the effects of green credit on green total factor productivity (GTFP) is conductive to promoting the sustainable economy development. This paper examines the total effects, influence mechanism, and heterogeneous impacts of green credit on GTFP based on GTFP data of 30 provinces in China from 2008 to 2017. The findings show that, firstly, on the whole, green credit significantly increases GTFP, which is tested by the panel regression model. Secondly, according to the result of the panel quantile model, the increasing effect of green credit on GTFP is strengthened by the improvement of GTFP. Thirdly, green credit has heterogeneous impact on GTFP, which is reflected in economic development with different level, especially for different degrees of environmental regulation. Fourthly, under the full samples, green credit impacts GTFP through green technology innovation, but it has no effect on energy consumption structure. Besides, the influence mechanism is heterogeneous in the variation of sample characteristics. Finally, some significant policy recommendations are provided for policymakers based on these conclusions.

“…Foreign direct investment (FDI): It is generally believed that FDI affects green total factor productivity through capital formation, technology transfer, technology spillover, and environmental spillover, but the results are often regionally heterogeneous and related to the intensity of environmental regulation. This paper adopts the ratio of actual utilized FDI to GDP as an FDI variable [35,36].…”

With the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization, the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) is facing many environmental problems that need to be solved in the process of development. This paper aims to analyze the environmental governance effects of nine provinces and two municipalities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2009 to 2018. Firstly, based on the input-output index, the slacks-based measure (SBM) undesirable model and Malmquist (ML) index were used to measure the green total factor productivity (GTFP) of the YREB from 2009 to 2018. The results showed that the technological progress index contributed the most to the GTFP of the YREB, followed by the pure technical efficiency index and the scale efficiency index. Environmental regulation has no significant impact on the GTFP of the YREB. Secondly, by analyzing the effect of environmental governance in the YREB, the results show that the main reasons for the ineffective environmental governance in the YREB are the redundant input of environmental resources, excessive unwanted output, and low harmless treatment rate of municipal solid waste, rather than the low level of urban environmental management. Finally, this paper provides recommendations for the ineffective provinces and municipalities of the YREB to further optimize the input-output factors of environmental governance.
