Promising Government, Effective Market and Green Total Factor Productivity in Agriculture

Based on the panel data of each province in the country from 2012 to 2021, this paper calculated the total factor productivity of agricultural green in each region through the super-efficiency SBM-GML model of unexpected output, and explored the promising government, efficient market and the influence mechanism of interaction term on agricultural green total factor productivity. The results showed that, first, the government could promote the improvement of agricultural green total factor productivity, while the efficient market played a restraining role, and the efficient market had a disturbing regulatory effect in the process of government regulation. Second, the promising government mainly affected agricultural green total factor productivity by promoting green technology efficiency. The market had an inhibitory effect on both green technology progress and green technology efficiency. Marketization played an interfering regulatory role in the process of government promoting green technology efficiency. Thirdly, the promoting effect of an active government, the inhibiting effect of an efficient market, and the disruptive regulating effect of an efficient market had significant threshold effects. Therefore, it was proposed to play the guarantee role of “promising government” , accelerate the construction of “promising government and effective market” coordination mechanism, and increase the research and development of agricultural green technology.
