Study on green output bias of China's mariculture technological progress

With the rapid development of mariculture, environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious. It is particularly important to study the green output bias of technological progress for the long-term sustainable development of mariculture. Based on the input-output data of the mariculture in 10 Chinese coastal areas from 2008 to 2018, the DEA-Malmquist index decomposition method is used to calculate the output-biased technological progress index and combines with the change of marginal substitution rate of output factors in different periods to identify the bias of technological progress between output factors and analyze the green output bias of mariculture technological progress. The results show that green technological progress is a crucial factor affecting green total factor productivity's growth in China's mariculture. During the study period, the number of regions where technological progress tends to reduce pollutant emissions shows a fluctuating upward trend, and the degree of technological progress toward green output is high. There are obvious differences among regions. The green output bias of technological progress in the South China Sea area is the highest, followed by the East China Sea area, and the Bohai Sea area is poor. Specifically, the green output bias of technological progress in Fujian, Guangdong, and Hainan is higher, while the green output bias of technological progress in Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, and Guangxi is lower. According to the research results, corresponding policy suggestions are provided to realize the green and sustainable development of China's mariculture.

Automated summary

With the rapid development of mariculture, the issue of environmental pollution has become increasingly serious. This study focuses on the green output bias of technological progress in mariculture and its impact on sustainable development. The research analyzes input-output data from 10 Chinese coastal areas and finds that green technological progress is a crucial factor affecting green total factor productivity in mariculture. The study also reveals regional differences in the green output bias of technological progress, with the South China Sea area showing the highest bias and the Bohai Sea area performing poorly. Policy suggestions are provided to achieve green and sustainable development in China's mariculture.
