Inflection Point of Green Total Factor Productivity by Low-Carbon Regulation from Chinese Economics Recovery
The sustainable growth path of emerging economies has transformed from the traditional extensive model to high-quality development. Due to the impulse force of low-carbon regulation, the measurement of input–output efficiency changed into green total factor productivity (GTFP) which considers enviro...
