Abstract

In order to study the impact between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Green Total Factor Productivity (GTFP), this work first introduces the concepts of FDI and GTFP and the impact mechanism between them. Then, the calculation method of GTFP is explored. According to the influencing factors, the impact model of FDI on GTFP is constructed. Finally, the influence degree coefficients of each influencing factor are calculated through experiments, and the influencing factors and influence degree of FDI on GTFP are obtained. The results show that the parameter of domestic research and development (R&D) capital investment is the largest, reaching 11.47, which is significant at 1%. It indicates that the growth of GTFP is most affected by domestic R&D capital investment, and the two are positively correlated. The research on the influencing factors of FDI on GTFP is of practical significance to the growth of GTFP under the influence of FDI.
