Abstract: This paper estimates the total factor productivity (TFP) of each province and analyzes the impact of different type of R&D activities on TFP based on the panel data of China's provinces over the period of 2000-2010. We divide R&D inputs into basic research, applied research and development according to the type of activities. The results show that the impact of basic research and applied research on TFP is less than development. This paper also finds that the result is diverse in different regions. In the eastern region, the impact of basic research on TFP is greater than the applied research and development. While in the western region, the development on TFP growth is more significant. Human capital and FDI have a positive effect on TFP, while the industrial structure has a negative effect.

摘要： 本文利用2000-2010年我国省际面板数据，在测算各省份全要素生产率的基础上，将R&D投入分为基础研究、应用研究和试验发展，利用面板模型考察不同类型研发活动分别对全要素生产率（TFP）的影响，并控制人力资本、FDI以及所有制结构等因素。研究结果表明，现阶段我国基础研究、应用研究对TFP的影响小于试验发展的影响。分区域看，东部沿海地区的基础研究和应用研究对TFP的影响大于试验发展，而内陆地区的试验发展对TFP影响更加显著，人力资本和FDI对TFP均有促进作用，而所有制结构有负的作用。
