摘要

Economic growth is similar to the formation of the universe. In order to measure the source of economic growth and explore the relationship between economic growth and physics, this paper uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) to decompose China's economic growth from 1978 to 2017 into total factor productivity and input effects. The conclusion is: China's overall economic growth rate from 1978 to 2017 was 10.71%, of which the growth rate of total factor productivity (TFP) and technical efficiency have been negative for a long time. Economic growth mainly depends on input factors, especially capital input. Linking physical indicators with economic variables, the economic growth Kinetic energy in 2017 was 1599.59J, and the economic promotion force between Guangdong Province and Jiangxi Province was 2.24N.
