Combining the feather of SBM directional distance function and Luenberger Index, and using the new method of productivity index's construction and decomposition, the paper studied the trend and factor analysis of Beijing area's economic performance under restrictions of resource and environment over the period of 2009-2013. Results showed that: (1) Energy consumption and pollution emissions mainly contributed to the inefficiency of Beijing's economy growth. And the regional environmental efficiency presented obvious differences from the city centre to the edge of the city, the central area with developed economy and the edge area with good environment. (2) During the 2009-2013, the trends of Beijing's Luenberger Total Factor Productivity (LTFP) was opposite to those of environmental efficiency, with the middle of the city highest. The development of suburban areas was relatively quick. (3) From a dynamic perspective, Beijing's economic performance was mainly influenced by changes in technical borders. Finally, the paper put forward relevant suggestions to enhance economic growth of Beijing and every area.
