Table 1 Comparative framework of new quality productive forces and related international concepts.
From: Study on the impact of new quality productive forces on agricultural green production efficiency
Concept | New quality productive forces | Eco-innovation | Green growth | TFP enhancement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Core definition | Driving systematic upgrading of productive forces through technological innovation to achieve green-efficient development | Environmental impact reduction through innovation | The coordinated development of economic growth and environmental sustainability | Enhancing production efficiency through technological progress and management optimization |
Primary goal | A qualitative leap in productive forces to achieve optimization and upgrading of industrial structure | Resolve economy-environment conflicts | Balancing economic growth with ecological carrying capacity | Enhance factor utilization efficiency and economic growth quality |
Key focus | systemic transformation of productive forces elements (e.g., smart agricultural machinery, digital technologies) | Specific tech/institutional innovations (e.g., green tech) | Overall transformation of the economic system (e.g., low-carbon industries) | Capital/labor efficiency optimization |
Theoretical basis | Marxist productive forces theory localized in China | Endogenous growth theory and Sustainable development theory | Sustainable development theory and Circular economy theory | Neoclassical growth theory |
