A critical review of the current research mainstreams and the influencing factors of green total factor productivity

Abstract

The current world economy needs to undergo a green transformation. Green total factor productivity provides the basis for judging whether a country or region can attain longterm sustainable development. However, there is little research into the factors that influence green total factor productivity and this has become an obstacle in the transition to a greener economy. On filtering relevant articles and interviews data collected from 2009 to 2019, open, spindle, and selective decoding are carried out to classify research conducted into green total factor productivity. From this analysis, cutting-edge research and knowledge gaps in green total factor productivity are identified. Also, an influencing factors model of green total factor productivity is built.Findings suggest that technical, economic, and government are the three main research Environmental Science and Pollution Research 2 streams involved in this transformation process. In particular, technology plays a decisive role, economy plays a guaranteeing role, and government plays a regulatory role. Moreover, the impact of these factors cannot be isolated, as each influence and mediate the other two. Results from this study will help further popularize green total factor productivity and provide a new starting point for reducing energy consumption and environmental pollution.

An exploratory study on risk identification of cross‐boundary innovation of manufacturing enterprises based on grounded theory

“…Open coding can better develop the primary category (Guan et al, 2019;Zhang, Lu, et al, 2021). Spindle coding refers to asso- 3.…”

“…Spindle coding is open coding informing each independent category to establish an association to make the category more rigorous. Open coding can better develop the primary category (Guan et al, 2019; Zhang, Lu, et al, 2021). Spindle coding refers to associating the relatively independent categories obtained from open coding and discovering and establishing potential connections among these categories (Zhu & Zhou, 2020).…”

The spatiotemporal dynamic and spatial spillover effect of agricultural green technological progress in China

“…Green agriculture is an agricultural development model based on technological progress, integrating energy conservation, protecting and improving the agricultural ecological environment, and advocating a green consumption lifestyle (Wanzenboeck et al 2016 ). According to the literature summary and research results, if the market subject and regional environment are taken as the mainline, the internal promotion mechanism of AGTP can be attributed to the level of agricultural development, interregional interaction, and regional policy environment (Vocke and Heady 1978 ; Zhang et al 2021 ). The internal mechanism of these three aspects will effectively promote green sustainable production and promote the progress of agricultural green technology.…”

“…and Z. 2020 , Vocke and Heady 1978 , Zhang et al 2021 ), and based on the availability of data. We choose the research of relevant scholars (in Table 1 , the detailed description of index selection is provided in the supplementary file ) and select indicators to explore the spatial spillover effect of green technological progress and its role in green technological progress.…”

Can High-Speed Rail Help Achieve Urban Green Development? From a Spatial Perspective

“…Existing studies have explored the positive impacts of entrepreneurial vitality on the GTFP (Liu S., et al, 2020;Xia and Xu, 2020;Zhang et al, 2021). First, entrepreneurial activity can accelerate the R & D of new technological achievements, which may force green technological innovation and product development.…”
