Using Malmquist index, this paper measures total factor productivity (TFP) of modern service industry in Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta during 2000-2008, analyzes the sources and trends of TFP growth. Conclusions are made as follows: TFP of modern service industry grew rapidly and had a downward trend in the two zones, and the source of economic growth has shifted from technical efficiency...
The scenario approach is a key tool in futures analysis. The likelihood of scenarios is evaluated by subjective judgment of analysts. In order to assert futures with higher certainty this article explores the notion of bounding scenarios. Making an analogy to the notion of mathematical bounds, bounding scenarios aim to exclude what will not occur rather than guess what will. The hope is that bounds...
The total factor productivity is one of the important indexes to measure sustainable economic growth. According to the 1990–2008 Gansu services data, this paper empirically analyses the service industry total factor productivity growth in Gansu province by nonparametric Malmquist index method. It is concluded that there exist certain differences between technical efficiency and technical progress...
Energy rebound effect theory provides supports for energy policies, which has become a hot research direction at home and abroad. In this paper, we conduct empirical research of energy rebound effect using 1978-2007 macroeconomic data at China's national and three industries level. The results show that: the average energy rebound effect of China during 1979-2006 is 58.24%, a little higher than most...
Capital investment, labor input, financial investment and technological progress are factors that affecting the growth of industrial economy. In order to find the different effects on industrial economy, stimulating effects of these factors in east, central and western regions were estimated by using Cobb-Douglas production function. There are regional differences in the effects of the factors mentioned...

The Yangtze River Delta region is one of the most rapid economic development areas in China. In fact, its economic growth still contains extensive features, which constrain economic sustainable development and international competition improvement of this region. Due to its inherent problems, extensive growth is unsustainable, while intensive growth contains sustainable development meaning and possesses...
In the perspective of political and economic analysis, the paper decomposes the sources of manufacturing labor productivity growth into four parts: technological progress, the effect of increasing returns to scale, capital deepening caused by wages and institutional changes. We can get the empirical results as follows: technological progress and the effect of increasing returns to scale stimulate...
