The Impact of Greenhouse Gas on Total Factor Productivity

This paper argues that a key mechanism through which greenhouse gas affects growth is via total factor productivity (TFP). We first estimate TFP based on a production function and then estimate the determinants of TFP, paying particular attention to four variables: greenhouse gas, openness of trade, inflation, saving rate
¡@¡@We major results are as follows:
1.In the fixed effect¡GThe impact of greenhouse gas and inflation on TFP to be negative, significant. The impact of openness of trade on TFP to be positive, significant. The impact of saving rate on TFP to be insignificant.
2.The relations between CO2 and TFP have in the degree change, the degree of interplay decreases progressively along with time.
3.The relationship between CO2 and TFP with the countries of OECD is lager than with the countries of Non-OECD. The impact of saving rate on TFP is significant in the countries of OECD, but insignificant in the countries of Non-OECD.
