【内容简介】This paper presents a meta-analysis of5308 observations of total factor productivity growth (TFPG) in China from 150primary studies to provide some insightful explanations to the controversiesabout productivity growth in China in the current literature. The main findingsinclude that (1) the mean TFPG of the aggregate economy at the national levelin the current literature is only about 2% after 1978, which barely contributesto 20% economic growth; (2) there are three cycles for TFPG after 1978 and eachcircle lasts about 10 years; (3) sector-specific TFPGs are generallylarger than aggregate economic TFPGs; (4) regional disparities of TFPG aresignificant and specifically the TFPG in East China is higher than that inCentral and West China; (5) TFPG after 1978 is in general greater than thatbefore 1978; and (6) peer-review process and paper languages are significantlycorrelated with TFPG results.
