Abstract

The transitional growth experience China is undergoing, with its emphasis on reducing the energy intensity of the economy while maintaining satisfactory rates of economic growth, is one of the most important research topics concerned with the performance of China’s economy. The Nankai research group on efficiency and productivity, located in the College of Economic and Social Development at Nankai University, is one of the first research teams engaged in the study of the efficiency and green productivity growth of China’s economy. Since 2006 the Nankai research group, which includes scholars in industrial economics, regional economics and green logistics, has achieved fruitful research outcomes. A measurement framework for China’s green growth experience has been proposed, including an appropriate GDP growth rate and measures of energy saving, low pollution and low carbon emissions. Such green growth can be achieved through economic reform and innovation oriented to improve China’s efficiency and productivity, inclusive of its economic resources and its energy use and composition, and its conventional GDP and its emissions and other environmental impacts.
