Article Preview

Abstract:

With the high development of knowledge-based economy, information service industry plays an important role in driving economic transition. We use stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) method to estimate the technical efficiency in seven cities of Zhejiang Province in China. We find that the average technical efficiency of information services industry is high and have different developed trends among the cities. The human capital、industrial concentration degree, openness and urbanization have significant impact on technical efficiency, while government behaviors do not show significant effect.
