For more than 40 years since the reform and opening up, China's economy has created a miracle of high-speed growth. At present, it has the objective conditions for a transition to high-quality development. This article summarizes the current literature on the economic growth quality and future research directions by combing the relevant literature on economic growth quality. The study finds that the literature on the economic growth quality focuses on the definition of the connotation of economic growth quality, the evaluation dimension and quantitative measurement of economic growth quality, the influencing factors of economic growth quality, and regulatory policies. The selection of evaluation indicators of economic growth quality is inconsistent, the evaluation indicators of economic growth quality lack the distinction between macro and micro dimensions, and the relationship between economic growth speed and economic growth quality is unclear. The future academic research should take this as the key breakthrough direction. This article's literature review and evaluation of economic growth quality are important for all sectors to understand economic development and determine research direction of economic growth quality.
