Abstract: By using the panel data of 28 industries of manufacturing industries in our country from 2003 to 2016 and using a translog production function to change the technical efficiency stochastic frontier model, this paper estimates total factor productivity (TFP) and its decomposition of manufacturing industries, and analysis TFP growth in the presence of heterogeneity of manufacturing industries and the impact of industrial heterogeneity on growth capability.The results indicate that China's manufacturing industries show a great difference in technical efficiency, technical progress and technical efficiency improvement, scale efficiency improvement, improvement of allocation efficiency and TFP index. At the same time, industrial heterogeneity has a significant positive role in promoting its growth capability for manufacturing industries. This indicates that enhancing industrial heterogeneity is benefit to promote growth capability of manufacturing industries in China by promoting technical progress efficiency, transformating increasing manner and improving the total factor productivity.

Key words: TFP, heterogeneity, growth capability, technical progress
