Abstract Based on the panel data of 13 cities in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei from 2013 to 2017, this paper uses the SBM-Malmquist-Luenberger index to measure the total factor productivity under the constraint of haze pollution.The measuring results show that during the study sample period, the total factor productivity under the haze constraint is 9.8%, the technical efficiency contribution is -0.80%, and the contribution rate of technological progress is 11.1%. Technical progress is the main source of total factor productivity growth. Furthermore, based on the further analysis of the impact of haze governance policy on total factor productivity, it is found that the current haze governance policy has a positive and significant effect on total factor productivity. Therefore, it can be concluded that the “Environmental Kuznets Curve” hypothesis is existed in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, while the “pollution refuge” hypothesis may not be established under the long-term influence of the haze control policy. The population density and industrial structure level have a positive significant impact on total factor productivity, and the technological innovation under the haze control policy will also have a positive significant impact too.
