Abstract
To explore the evolution mechanism of manufacturing green development efficiency is of great significance to realize green transformation of manufacturing industry in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. This paper fully considers the resource inputs and undesirable outputs in the production process and applies WSR methodology to construct the index system of influencing factors. Based on the panel data of 11 provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 1998 to 2017, the super-SBM model is used to calculate the manufacturing green development efficiency. Then, the regional differences of manufacturing green development efficiency in the Yangtze River Economic Belt are deeply analyzed. Finally, Tobit model is applied to analyze the influencing factors of the manufacturing green development efficiency. And it turns out, during the statistics period, manufacturing green development efficiency in the Yangtze River Economic Belt is “U” shaped distribution, the mean value of each province over the years is 0.812, which is at the medium development level; the manufacturing green development efficiency in the Yangtze River Economic Belt is on the rise, and the low scale efficiency is the main reason that restricts the manufacturing green development efficiency in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. All the influencing factors have different effects on the manufacturing green development efficiency in different regions. Therefore, this paper puts forward corresponding policy suggestions from the three dimensions of Wuli, Shili and Renli.

Manufacturing industry is the main source of modern material wealth, and an important industry that causes damage to the ecological environment
It is of great significance to explore the evolution mechanism of manufacturing green development efficiency in the Yangtze River Economic Belt and find out the causes of unbalanced manufacturing green development efficiency in different regions for realizing green transformation of manufacturing industry in the Yangtze River Economic Belt
The following is the distribution diagrams of green development efficiency made by ARCGIS software in four years
Summary
Manufacturing industry is the main source of modern material wealth, and an important industry that causes damage to the ecological environment. The unreasonable industrial structure and layout result in prominent ecological and environmental problems of accumulation, superposition and potential, which have become the main bottleneck restricting the Regional Manufacturing Green Development Efficiency green development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. To this end, China issued the guidance on strengthening the green development of industry along the Yangtze River Economic Belt in 2017. Under the background of calling for ecological priority and green development, the Yangtze River Economic Belt should focus on improving the green development level of manufacturing industry and reducing the waste of resources and environmental pollution as much as possible.
