Description
Summary:Improving green total factor productivity (GTFP) is an important theme. Whether collaborative agglomeration between logistics industry and manufacturing (LMCA) can effectively promote GTFP is worth further research. Based on the panel data of 284 cities in China from 2005 to 2018, GTFP is calculated by using the Biennial Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index (BMLPI), and this research investigates the impact of LMCA on GTFP by adopting the spatial Durbin model (SDM) and threshold regressive model (TRM). First, LMCA plays a significant role in promoting the improvement of GTFP in the local and surrounding areas through the knowledge spillover effect, scale economy effect, resource allocation effect and symbiotic economic effect, and the spillover effect is greater than the local effect. Second, the positive direct effect of LMCA on GTFP comes mainly from technological progress, and the positive indirect effect of LMCA on GTFP comes mainly from the positive spillover effect of technological progress and technical efficiency improvement. Finally, the Williamson hypothesis exists significantly in the collaborative agglomeration scenario of the logistics industry and manufacturing of China. With the improvement of the level of economic development, the impact of LMCA on GTFP changes from insignificant to promoting. However, when it is further improved, the promoting effect turns into an inhibiting effect, and this change is dominated mainly by the impact of LMCA on technical change.
