This paper is the first to systematically review the theoretical mechanisms of environmental regulation and trade comparative advantage that affect the green transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. On this basis, corresponding hypotheses are put forward. The non-radial and non-angle SBM (slacks-based measure) efficiency measurement model with undesirable outputs was used, combined with the use of the ML (green total factor productivity index) productivity index to measure green total factor productivity. Finally, the theoretical hypothesis was empirically tested using data from 27 manufacturing industries in China from 2005 to 2017. The results show the following: (1) There is a significant inverted U-shaped curve relationship between environmental regulation and the transformation of the manufacturing industry. In other words, as environmental regulation increases, its impact on the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry is first promoted and then suppressed. (2) When there are no environmental regulations, the trade comparative advantage of the manufacturing industry is not conducive to industrial transformation. However, under the constraints of environmental regulations, the comparative advantage of trade will significantly promote the green transformation and upgrading of manufacturing. Therefore, in order to effectively promote transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing, this paper proposes the following policy recommendations: (1) The Chinese government should pay more attention to the impact of environmental regulation intensity on the transformation of manufacturing industries, further increase the intensity of environmental regulation within the reasonable range, and fully exert the positive effects of environmental regulation on the trade patterns and manufacturing industry transformation. (2) We should further optimize the structure of trade, realize the diversification of manufacturing import and export, and promote its transformation into high-end manufacturing. On this basis, green production technology in the manufacturing industry can be improved through the technology spillover effect. (3) Efforts should be made to improve the level of collaborative development between environmental regulation and trade patterns and to explore the transformation path of the manufacturing industry with the integration of environmental regulation and trade patterns.

Reform Period

This article examines and applies the theoretical foundation of the decomposition of output and total factor productivity growth (TFPG) of the aggregate manufacturing industries in 15 major industrialised states in India as well as in all-India during the period from 1981–1982 to 2010–2011, during the entire period, during the pre-reform period (1981–1982 to 1990–1991) and post-reform period (1991–1992 to 2010–2011), and also during two different decades of the post-reform period, that is, during 1991–1992 to 2000–2001 and 2001–2002 to 2010–2011. Output growth is decomposed into input growth effect and TFPG where the three attributes of TFPG are adjusted scale effect, technological progress (TP) and technical efficiency change. A stochastic frontier model with a translog production function is used to estimate the growth attributes of output and total factor productivity (TFP). The empirical results show that input growth is the major contributor to output growth, whereas TP is found to be the major contributor to TFPG and the decline in TFPG of the organised manufacturing sector in India and in its major industrialised states during the post-reform period is mainly due to the decline in TP of the same during that period.
