Coastal cities are the strategic core areas of China's economic growth. Measuring and understanding green total factor productivity (GTFP) growth in coastal cities is an essential prerequisite for achieving high-quality development (HQD). This paper aims to measure the accurate GTFP growth of China's coastal cities and grasp its temporal-spatial evolution. First, a three-stage dynamic analysis model is constructed to calculate the accurate GTFP growth with the effects of external environmental factors and random errors eliminated. In the context of the “3060” double carbon target, carbon reduction poses a challenge to the HQD of the coastal cities. To measure GTFP growth under the carbon emission constraints, carbon emissions are considered as one of the undesired outputs. On this basis, the temporal-spatial evolution of the GTFP index and its spatial effects are further explored using kernel density estimation …
