我国建筑业全要素生产率的实证分析

生产率的提高不仅对我国建筑业有着举足轻重的作用,而且对转型期的我国国民经济的持续稳定发展也有着特殊意义。然而,由于方法的不完善和统计数据的缺乏,建筑业生产率的度量是一个富有挑战性的课题。在简要介绍全要素生产率研究方法的基础上,本文借鉴现有的研究成果,根据实际统计资料,对我国建筑业作了实证分析。结果发现,我国建筑业全要素生产率总体呈下降趋势,这说明我国建筑业生产效率近期并没有提高,仍处于由粗放型增长向集约型增长的转变过程之中。

A positive analysis on total factor productivity of Chinese construction industry

The productivity improvement is of special importance to Chinese building sector, as well as the persistent and steady growth of national economy during the transitional period. However, the measurement of productivity of construction industry is a challengeable task because of the imperfectness of methodology and the difficulty of data collection. The measurement approaches of productivity of construction industry are briefly introduced. Using the existing research results for reference, a positive analysis on total factor productivity of Chinese construction industry is conducted. The conclusion is that the total factor productivity in Chinese construction industry is on the declining trend, and that the total factor productivity of Chinese building sector has not been improved during last decades and is still in the transition from extensive growth to intensive growth.
