Catch Up

As domestic concerns on clean economic growth arise, promoting green economy has become an urgent issue for emerging countries that are facing serious environment problems in industrialization. Through international imitation, emerging countries have the opportunity to adopt clean techniques of developed countries. Because of different industrial structures, it is unachievable to learn the green technology across all fields. Previous studies consider that innovations could create green production models to improve the production capacity that reduces energy input and waste discharge. However, while evaluating emerging countries’ economic growth, the environment indicators were often neglected. Empirical investigation of the role of innovation in green economy’s growth is still rare. The first objective of this study is to adopt an integrated framework to investigate emerging countries’ green economy by considering environmental factors. Secondly, environmentally sensitive productivity growth index was employed to decompose the productivity progress of green economy into catch-up effect, innovation effect, and technical leadership to examine the role of innovation. Thirdly, implications were provided for the policy makers in relation to green growth. Thirty-nine emerging countries were chosen as samples, which were divided into America, Asia, and Europe according to their locations. We found that America is still an imitator in developing green economy. In contrast, Asia starts to transition to innovation, which has become another critical promoter for green growth. Europe was found to lead on the technology frontier because of proper industrial planning and technology accumulation. The progress to innovation and technical leadership could ensure a stable green growth in the future. This research could be a route to open up the possibility of extending current study of green economy.

El presente trabajo se enfocó a profundizar sobre el tema de las economías verdes y la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial. A través de una investigación documental, se logró evidenciar que las economías verdes siguen estando muy poco desarrolladas en todas partes del mundo, donde Europa es la que más avances posee en dicho tema, quedándose Latinoamérica rezagada al respecto por problemas tecnológicos y de desarrollo. Sobre la responsabilidad social se pudo entender que la misma representa una piedra angular para el desarrollo de las naciones y una de las vías más relevantes para alcanzar la sostenibilidad, reduciéndose problemas como la pobreza y el impacto medioambiental. Se concluyó que la importancia de estos trabajos de investigación radica en la amplitud del análisis que proponen, lo que sirve como un elemento referencial de gran calado desde el cual partir para otras investigaciones.

Inclusive Green Growth is a sustainable development mode that pays attention to the coordinated growth of the economy, society, and ecology. With the intensification of the contradiction between fiscal revenue and expenditure, adopting the goal of adjusting the fiscal expenditure structure is conducive to improving the efficiency of fiscal funds. This paper establishes a theoretical model of the efficiency of the fiscal expenditure structure under the goal of Inclusive Green Growth, and on this basis, it constructs an index system of Inclusive Green Growth. Then, it applies a DEA-Malmquist model to analyze the efficiency of the fiscal expenditure structure. The results show that from 2007 to 2018, the growth rate of Inclusive Green Growth index showed a downward trend, which was mainly due to the decline in the growth rate of economic development. It rebounded after 2016, and the growth of the inclusiveness level played a major role. In time and space, the development resources tend to the unbalanced development trend of the eastern region; the average total factor productivity of the fiscal expenditure structure in space is the lowest in the east. The fiscal expenditure should be inclined to social expenditure and green expenditure, the western region should be inclined to economic expenditure, and the allocation of the expenditure structure in the central region should imitate the high-efficiency areas. In order to achieve the comprehensive development goal, this paper provides an analytical idea for the adjustment of the fiscal expenditure structure.

The green growth prediction plays an important role to assess and monitor the growth rate of a local region. Managers and researchers can make timely adaptation policy to improve and innovate economic, cultural and environmental performance to impulse the green growth. The study used the methods such as the multiple criteria analysis, analytic hierarchy process, principal component analysis, and the grey theory model to build and integrate green growth indicators into the green growth index. The green growth index was developed by 9 subjects and 18 indicators. The data of study were collected a period of seven years from 2009 to 2015. The results of study indicated that almost districts increased the green growth index. District 1 and District 5 reached at high green growth level about 60 score, while others were classified into average green growth level. The results of green growth prediction of districts in Ho Chi Minh City also showed that the green growth index will lightly increase from 2016 – 2020.

Kualitas pembangunan suatu negara pada umumnya hanya diukur melalui pertumbuhan ekonomi, padahal pertumbuhan ekonomi yang diukur melalui PDB tidak mampu mengakomodasi kesejahteraan sosial dan kualitas lingkungan yang juga merupakan tujuan dari pembangunan. Pertumbuhan inklusif hijau merupakan solusi yang mampu menggambarkan kualitas pembangunan secara komprehensif, tidak hanya mencakup dimensi ekonomi, tetapi juga dimensi sosial dan dimensi lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membentuk suatu indeks untuk mengukur tingkat pertumbuhan inklusif hijau yang disebut Balanced Inclusive Green Growth Index (BIGGI) dengan menggunakan metode analisis faktor dan menerapkan kerangka kerja serta metodologi yang dikembangkan oleh Asian Development Bank (2018). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Provinsi Jawa Timur, Jawa Tengah, dan Kalimantan Timur adalah tiga provinsi dengan pertumbuhan inklusif hijau tertinggi, sedangkan Provinsi Bengkulu, Sulawesi Barat, dan Papua adalah tiga provinsi dengan pertumbuhan inklusif hijau terendah. Secara umum, pertumbuhan inklusif hijau provinsi-provinsi di Indonesia berada pada kategori sedang. Dengan menggunakan analisis kuadran antara BIGGI dan pertumbuhan ekonomi, 16 dari 34 provinsi di Indonesia mengalami pertumbuhan ekonomi yang tinggi namun disertai pertumbuhan inklusif hijau yang rendah. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa sebagian besar kegiatan ekonomi di Indonesia tidak inklusif, tidak hijau, serta tidak seimbang. Selain itu, terdapat keterkaitan spasial pada pertumbuhan inklusif hijau provinsi-provinsi di Indonesia yang berarti bahwa tingkat pertumbuhan inklusif hijau di suatu provinsi memengaruhi dan dipengaruhi oleh capaian provinsi-provinsi tetangganya.

The Impact

Inclusive green growth is a sustainable development mode in pursuit of economic growth, social equity, and environmental protection. At present, a large number of articles have discussed the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth, green growth, and inclusive growth. However, the research about inclusive green growth is mainly descriptive. This paper constructs China’s inclusive green growth index and analyzes the impact of FDI on inclusive green growth in China. Specifically, by constructing a super efficiency slacks-based measure model (which has two undesirable outputs: income disparity and environmental pollution) to calculate the Inclusive green growth index, this paper compares and analyses the differences and regional characteristics of China’s total factor productivity, inclusive total factor productivity, green total factor productivity, and inclusive green total factor productivity. We find that total factor productivity is decreasing after considering undesirable output, and the traditional total factor productivity is higher than the inclusive green total factor productivity by 0.112; at the regional level, the trend of the total factor productivity is gradually decreasing from east to west, which indicates that there are regional differences in inclusive green growth of China, and there is room for improvement. Meanwhile, we construct a panel vector autoregressive model (PVAR) and use generalized impulse response function and variance decomposition to analyse the influence of FDI on China’s inclusive green total factor productivity. The results show that FDI is beneficial to the promotion of inclusive green total factor productivity in China, and environmental pollution in the FDI process is an important factor hindering the inclusive green total factor productivity.
