摘要：
This paper first measures the levels and growths of regional TFP in China using a panel dataset of China's 30 provinces from 1978-2014. It then estimates the effects of R&D on regional TFP and its growth further explores the impact of TFP on China's energy intensity. We find no evidence that R&D has innovation and spillover effects on TFP and its growth in China's provinces. Nevertheless, R&D can promote growth in regional TFP by helping to absorb new technologies embodied in FDI and foreign trade. The results indicate that TFP plays a significant role in the decline of China's energy intensity.
