A Study on Regional Comparison of Productive Efficiency of Service Sector in China Based on SUPER-SBM DEA Model

摘要

This paper, based on the innate properties of productive activities of service sectors, constructs input and output index based on SUPER-SBM DEA model. The paper empirically selects provincial data of China in 2008, evaluates the score of productive efficiency of service sector in various regions and then explores the approaches to promote productive efficiency according to related slack variables analysis. According to the analysis, the overall efficiency in service sector in China is comparatively low and there is a remarkable feature in its regional distribution. The efficiency in eastern regions is comparatively higher with the western regions following it and that in central regions is the worst. There exists larger redundant input in the process of developing the service sector. Thus, regional coordination of the service sector should be emphasized and harmonious use between human and material capitals should be strengthened.
