Abstract

Abstract: Based on the panel data of provinces and municipalities from 2000 to 2014 in China, the DEA-Malmquist index method is used to measure total factor productivity (TFP) of China′s 30 provinces and municipalities,as well as the impact of labor transfer on TFP are studied Results show that labor transfer is favorable to the growth of TFP, and when the proportion of employment in the primary industry to the total number of employed people decreases by 100%, TFP will increase by 139% Secondly, the specific effect of labor transfer in different regions on TFP is compared by region division Finally, TFP is divided into PTEC, TECH and SEC, and the impact of labor transfer on them is explored respectively Study finds that labor transfer affecting TFP is achieved mainly through the level of technological progress and economies of scale efficiency

Key words: labor transfer, total factor productivity, technical progress
