On Industry Growth Mode and Its Transition Mechanism:Empirical Study Based on Industrial Data of 23 Provinces from 1998 to 2007

Based on industrial data of 23 provinces from 1998 to 2007,this paper employs production frontier model under environment and energy constraint to analyze industry growth mode in China and its transition mechanism.It arrives at the following conclusions: firstly,the growth differences of provincial per capita output lead to the increase in the gap of regional industry output and the transformation of the distribution function of provincial per capita output from singlepeak distribution in 1998 to doublepeak distribution in 2007;compared to the year 1998,the variation coefficient of provincial per capita output rises form 0.3356 to 0.3487 and the variation coefficient of technological efficiency declines from 0.2961 to 0.2862;secondly,the contribution of technological progress to output growth is the largest in 13 provinces and the contribution of factor input deepening to output growth is the largest in 9 provinces;thirdly,capital input and energy consumption significantly promote output growth and SO2 emission obviously impedes output growth.Capital input,energy consumption and SO2 emission have the significantly negative effects on the increase in technological efficiency and the significantly positive effects on factor input deepening.
