This paper innovatively brings the undesirable output of agricultural carbon emission into the agricultural Total Factor Productivity (TFP) accounting framework as a measure of Green Total Factor Productivity (GTFP) and uses the Slack-based Measure and Malmquist-Luenberger (SBM-ML) index method to measure the agricultural GTFP of 24 provinces in China from 2004 to 2016. Further, the two-step system generalized moment method (GMM) is adopted to reveal the effect of agricultural (Foreign Direct Investment) FDI on the growth of agricultural GTFP and various subitems. We find that the average annual growth rate of agricultural GTFP is 3.1%, and its contribution rate to agricultural growth is 52%; the growth of agricultural GTFP shows that the progress of agricultural technology is accompanied by the deterioration of agricultural technical efficiency; the agricultural GTFP in the Eastern region, the Central region and the Western region increases in a stepped-up form, with an annual growth rate of 3.1%, 3.3% and 3.4%, respectively. Agricultural FDI has a significant promoting effect on agricultural GTFP and subitems, however, it has an inverted U-shaped feature in the long term.

Total factor productivity is not only the core of high-quality economic development but also a core indicator for measuring the quality of economic development. Improving total factor productivity is one of the most critical points in building a modern economic system. Firstly, this paper uses the DEA-Malmquist index method to measure and decompose the total factor productivity of China’s 30 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions from 2001 to 2017 and analyzes the characteristics of its temporal and spatial changes. From a spatial perspective, the regional gap is relatively large. Secondly, we construct the index system of five dimensions and use this index system to comprehensively evaluate the improvement degree of China’s modernized economic system. The results show that the overall level of the improvement degree of China’s modernized economic system is relatively low, and the differences between provinces are great. Thirdly, this paper uses static and dynamic spatial econometric models to empirically analyze the effect of total factor productivity on the improvement degree of the modern economic system. The results show that the improvement degree of the modern economic system in China has obvious characteristics of time spillover and space spillover. Finally, we put forward countermeasures and suggestions on how to perfect the modern economic system.

The unbalanced economic development results in the difference in operating efficiency of the non-life insurance industry in China’s provinces; based on the DEA-Malmquist index method, this paper investigates the provincial differences, dynamic change characteristics, and causes of non-life insurance productivity in 31 provinces of China from 2004 to 2017. The results show that in the sample period, there are significant differences between provinces and regions in China’s non-life insurance efficiency, which generally shows the echelon spatial characteristics of “strong in the west and weak in the east”. Technological progress in the western region promotes the rapid growth of total factor productivity, while the low efficiency of technological progress in the eastern region restrains the improvement of total factor productivity. The overall total factor productivity of China’s provincial non-life insurance industry is on the rise, mainly due to the improvement of pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency, while technological progress has an inhibiting effect on the contrary. These conclusions are of reference value for relevant stakeholders in China’s provincial non-life insurance market to formulate development strategies and business strategies.

Using panel data from China’s tobacco manufacturing industry from 2014 to 2018, the DEA-Malmquist method is used to measure the green total factor productivity of China’s tobacco manufacturing industry on the basis of comprehensive consideration of environmental pollution and energy consumption. The study found that from 2014 to 2018, the Malmquist index of green total factor productivity of China’s tobacco manufacturing industry basically showed a fluctuating upward trend; the technical level of 2014-2017 needs to be improved, and the technical level of 2017-2018 has begun to improve.

Objectives: To study the changes of TFP in TCM hospitals in Hubei Province from 2013 to 2019, so as to provide policy basis for improving service efficiency and promoting the development of TCM. Methods: The statistical reports of 90 public TCM hospitals in Hubei Province from 2013 to 2019 were collected using the Hubei Provincial Comprehensive Statistical Information System for TCM, and the TFP of TCM hospitals were dynamically analysed using the DEA-Malmquist index method. Results: From 2013 to 2019, the Total Factor Productivity Change (TFPCH) index of TCM Hospitals in Hubei Province increased by 0.8%; the Efficiency Change (EFFCH) index increased by 0.5%; the Technical Change (TECH) index increased by 0.3%; the Pure Efficiency Change (PECH) index increased by 0.2% and the Scale Efficiency Change (SECH) index increased by 0.4%. The mean values of the TFPCH index in the eastern, central, and western regions of Hubei Province were 1.001, 1.011, and 1.013, respectively, and the mean values of that in the secondary and tertiary hospitals were 1.004 and 1.024, respectively. Conclusions: The TFP of TCM hospitals in Hubei Province tends to improve on the whole. There are differences in the TFPCH index of TCM hospitals in different regions and levels. The stage development characteristics of core cities play a leading role and are worth learning.
