Efficiency Evaluation and Influencing Factors of Western China’s Producer Service Industry Based on DEA and TOBIT Models

Abstract:

As the continuous progress of the economy, developing produce services industry vigorously has become an important measure to promote the economic development and economic structural optimization, improve the efficiency of social operation. We first built the DEA model for the evaluation of producer services efficiency, and empirical researched the efficiency evaluation of the western producer services industry on this basis using the data from 2000 to 2011 year; then we analyzed the influencing factors by using the TOBIT model. The result shows that the producer services in western China are increasing returns to scale, and technical progress is the main force driving the development of the producer services. In addition, the technological level and government support have important impacts on the efficiency of producer services; the degree of specialization and division of labor, the economic level also play pivotal roles.
