Abstract

In order to achieve green and coordinated development of regional manufacturing industry, this article takes the manufacturing industry in the Yangtze River Delta region from 2010 to 2021 as the research object. The super efficiency SBM model with unexpected output and the Malmquist (GML) index with global reference are used to measure the static green development efficiency value and dynamic green total factor productivity value of regional manufacturing industry, and the dynamic green total factor productivity value is decomposed by index, Thus, the dynamic trends and regional differences in the green development of manufacturing industry in the Yangtze River Delta region are studied in terms of time and space dimensions. Research has found that the overall static green total factor productivity of the manufacturing industry in the Yangtze River Delta region is less than 1, which has not reached the forefront of DEA effective production, but shows a slow upward trend. The green development efficiency of the manufacturing industry in different provinces varies greatly, with Shanghai having the highest level of green development in the manufacturing industry. The GML index decomposition shows that the technical efficiency change index is the main factor affecting the green total factor productivity of the manufacturing industry in the Yangtze River Delta region. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the level of resource allocation and green technology innovation in the manufacturing industry of the Yangtze River Delta region; In terms of spatial dimension, the coordination between the development of manufacturing industry and technological innovation in Jiangsu Province is good. However, the growth momentum of green total factor productivity in the manufacturing industry in Shanghai, Anhui, and Zhejiang provinces is insufficient. We must persist in eliminating backward industries and driving innovation.
