Hybrid analysis of advantage and efficiency of China agriculture

摘要

Comparative advantage is the primary consideration during economy development. While to agriculture, this rule is often ignored and almost all countries or regions in one country support its development with finance, whether they have comparative advantage or not and no matter what the support efficiency is. This paper first gauges the efficiency value of agriculture fiscal support with the well-known Panel-Data Model for the dataset of 25 provinces in China in recent 25 years. Then we further analyze efficiency values combined with existed comparative advantage values by K-means clustering method, and 25 provinces are classified into 3 clusters. So according to hybrid information from the clustered results in consideration of both comparative advantage and comparative efficiency, the proposal for China agriculture development proposed by this paper will be more efficient and cost effective.
