Abstract Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has developed rapidly, but the economic growth in the past mainly depends on the input of factors but not the contribution of factor productivity. Meanwhile, the extensive mode of economic growth has made our country pay a heavy price of resources and environment, as a developing country, China has been based on agriculture before the reform and opening up. With the increasing prominence of environmental problems, the global demands for environmental protection is also rising. Environmental legislation gradually become an important policy means of a country, but also become a constraint force of the national economy. In this critical period of China's rapid economic growth, how to improve China's total factor productivity and the quality of economic growth, and transition to high quality development has become a crucial issue. This paper firstly studies domestic and foreign research of the government environmental legislation, green total factor productivity and the relationship between them. Secondly, the paper analysis the implementation of local environmental pollution and government environmental legislation in China, then studies the measurement method for total factor productivity. Thirdly, Based on the regional total factor productivity index from 2004 to 2017, this paper comprehensively investigates the impact of environmental policy legislation of local governments on total factor productivity by using the differential method. The results show that China's overall total factor productivity is facing a severe decline, especially during 2009-2014, and the spatial distribution of TFP index between the eastern, central and western regions is "non-linear". In addition, local environmental legislation has a significant promoting effect on local total factor productivity, while excessive environmental regulation measures cannot significantly promote the improvement of economic quality and realize the Porter effect.
