Abstract: The quality of economic growth is defined as the efficiency of economic growth under the constraint of certain endowments of production factors, resources and environment condition, economic structure, and income structure in this paper. Through Lucus economic growth model and the heterogeneous stochastic frontier production model for panel data, the factors and trends of the quality of economic growth from 1997 to 2011 in China and its provinces are evaluated. The results show that the trend of China's economic growth quality has been significantly slowing since 2000.The elasticity of labor or human capital to economic growth is bigger than material capital. The overall quality of China's economic growth faces significant internal constraints. There is a big difference among different regions in the quality improvement model of economic growth. The quality of economic growth in the eastern, middle, western region of China shows clear ladder-like distribution. The relationship between GDP per capita and the index of economic growth quality is basically positive.
