Spatiotemporal evolution and improvement pathway of ecological total factor productivity of cultivated land use in China under technological heterogeneity by HAN Haibin, WANG Jiaofen

“…The study results showed that: (1) Under the meta-frontier, the mean value of cultivated land use ecological efficiency in China was 0.350, and there was still 65.0% room for improvement; Except for the eastern region, the ecological efficiency values of cultivated land use under the group-frontier in the central and western regions were much higher than that under the meta-frontier. (2) The annual average growth rate of ecological total factor productivity of cultivated land use in China was 4.0%, which was mainly driven by technological progress of cultivated land use, while technical efficiency of cultivated land use hindered the growth of ecological total factor productivity of cultivated land use. (3) The distribution of ecological total factor productivity of cultivated land use in China was characterized by high levels in the eastern and western regions and low levels in the central region, and the growth patterns of ecological total factor productivity of cultivated land use in the eastern, central, and western China were different. [Conclusion] When measuring the ecological efficiency or total factor productivity of cultivated land use, it was necessary to divide the decision-making units with the characteristics of technological heterogeneity into groups with the same or similar technological level according to a certain standard, so as to meet the requirements of the data envelopment analysis (DEA) model for the technological homogeneity of decision-making units within the same group. …”
