The effect of total factor productivity of forestry industry on CO2 emissions: a spatial econometric analysis of China

Abstract Forestry plays an essential role in reducing CO2 emissions and promoting green and sustainable development. This paper estimates the CO2 emissions of 30 provinces in China from 2008 to 2017, and uses Global DEA-Malmquist to measure the total factor productivity of the forestry industry and...
