Agricultural Efficiency in Different Regions of China: An Empirical Analysis Based on Dynamic SBM-DEA Model

This study applies the dynamic slacks-based measure (DSBM) and total-factor agricultural efficiency (TFAE) to explore overall production of 30 administrative regions eastern, central, western China from 2012 2016. The previous literature has mainly focused on China’s economic development experience, but as economy continues grow, more food is needed labor shifting urban areas. Little attention been paid impact limited land efficiency. Therefore, this paper uses area carry-over variable labor, total machinery power, rural electricity consumption, fertilizer use, GDP variables discuss in different regions. empirical results show that 2016, best region terms was east. In analysis region, east had highest efficiency, while central lowest. input most improvement with largest adjustment consumption being observed Hebei Liaoning provinces eastern region. Furthermore, both showed upward trends. However, adjustments are still for other relevant effectively allocate resources improve
