Research on the impact of population mobility on green total factor productivity: A perspective from sustainable development.

ABSTRACT: The optimal allocation of the labor force through population mobility is a critical determinant of the synergistic economy, society, and environment, with substantial implications for Green Total Factor Productivity (GTFP). This study employs panel data from 2011 to 2020 encompassing 30 Chinese provinces, to measure the GTFP using the SBM-DDF model. We then investigated the network association characteristics of GTFP across provinces through social network analysis. Furthermore, fixed- and moderating-effects models are applied to empirically examine the impact of population mobility on GTFP, as well as the moderating roles of technological progress, financial development, and digital inclusive finance. These results indicate that China's GTFP exhibits spatial clustering and regional dispar
