Abstract

This paper evaluated productivity through metafrontier slacks-based measure, and explored the time and regional heterogeneity of productivity from static and dynamic perspectives. We also conducted convergence analysis on productivity. Our empirical results show that the east has the highest Technological Gap Ratio (TGR), which reveals that the east has the lowest production technology heterogeneity in China. Production heterogeneity has increased since 2004. FDI had negative effects on productivity, especially in the middle, west and northeast regions, which indicates FDI had a “crowding out” effect in China. Productivity displayed a convergence trend from 2004 to 2012. It is important for China’s local firms to enhance indigenous innovation and increase knowledge spillover in order to decrease their production technology gap.
