Green total factor productivity (GTFP) measures economic growth while accounting for undesirable outputs like pollution and resource use. The document presents three hypotheses: 1) Green technological innovation positively impacts GTFP by improving efficiency. 2) Financial development positively impacts GTFP by funding green technology and infrastructure. 3) Green finance positively impacts GTFP by promoting practices that minimize pollution and resource use.

GTFP is a modern productivity index that examines economic growth by
considering input, output, and undesired outputs, such as energy constraints, carbon emissions, and environmental resources GTFP can potentially reflect the efficiency of energy development and use accurately. It also aids in determining the economic growth that is conditional on the energy consumption scale or energy use efficiency enhancement The world faces multiple environmental challenges, such as natural resource degradation, climate change, global warming, pollution, etc. Almost every country’s economic expansion has been accompanied by resource depletion, environmental pollution, and ecological degradation Green technology innovation and green total factor productivity Green technology adheres to the law of ecological economics and prioritizes resource and energy conservation during innovation. It reduces pollution and environmental destruction during innovation and ensures that technological innovation has the least ecologically negative impact possible. GTI fosters the development of manufacturing technologies and the creation of new products, resulting in significant efficiency gains. From the standpoint of the innovation system, improving GTFP through technological innovation is to decrease outflow in energy consumption through system transformation and then increase energy TFP overall. Hypothesis Green technological innovation is a significant positive predictor of green total factor productivity. Financial development and green total factor productivity The literature review indicates that financial development can help economic progress by assembling investments, optimizing capital allocation, and minimizing risk. Financial infrastructure may boost economic growth and influence energy demand. A higher level of financial development results in the growth of the financial market, economic development and an increase in investment capital. A better financial system is a source for improving eco-friendly industrial technology, which leads to enhanced energy infrastructure and a reduction in CO2 emissions Hypothesis Financial development is a significant positive predictor of green total factor productivity in China Green finance and green total factor productivity The focus of GTFP is on input and output, in the current phenomenon, green finance serves as an input aiming to promote environment-friendly practices and revival of natural climate output by minimizing CO2 emissions It is argued that green finance promotes energy efficiency by lowering excessive energy consumption from the input side by minimizing reliance on fossil fuels and excessive environmental harm from the output side. Hypothesis Green finance is a significant positive predictor of green total factor productivity in China
