Research on Calculating and Analyzing the Contribution Rate of Science and Technology Progress

Abstract

Since the 1980s, the concept of the knowledge economy and the new theory of economy growth had been proposed which made the science and technology playing more important role and status on economy growth, and it get people's highest attention [1]. In this paper, the new method has been proposed and the contribution rate of science and technology progress in a city from 2004 thru 2012 has been calculated and analyzed as an example. Meanwhile, the software called Eviews has been applied to regression on the base of Solow growth model with introducing the concept of standard labor. The results showed that this method not only can calculate the contribution rate of science and technology progress but also reflect the way of economy growth in this area. Practices have proved that the proposed method in this paper is effective and reasonable relatively.

Realizing the Improvement of Green Total Factor Productivity of the Marine Economy—New Evidence from China’s Coastal Areas

“…Table 1 presents the basic characteristics of the indicators. (1) GTFP of the marine economy This paper selects marine capital stock, national ocean-related employed personnel by region, quay length, number of travel agencies in coastal areas, confirmed sea area, and energy consumption as the input indicators [2,[65][66][67][68]. It is worth mentioning that the energy consumption of the marine economy in this paper is calculated by multiplying the total energy consumption of each coastal region by the proportion of the GOP in the Gross Regional Product (GRP) [2].…”
