- Abstract:
- With the continuous improvement of the scale of Chinese industry network and the level of technical equipment, railway transportation efficiency has become an important issue that required attention. Based on the panel data of 18 railway bureaus of China Railway Corporation from 2005 to 2014, the production efficiency (inputoutput efficiency) of Chinese railway transportation industry was calculated and analyzed by using the improved CCR-DEA. The empirical results show that the efficiency of Chinese railway transportation industry tends to go up overall during 10 years. In terms of the internal efficiency, the production efficiency and space of each railway bureau does not evenly distribute. The reasons causing the change of the efficiency of Chinese railway transportation industry mainly include: 1) the internal promotion of technology level. Policy support in recent years has promoted the technological innovation of independent research and development and the introduction of foreign technology. 2) the promoting effect of the increase in external asset investment. 3) the significant positive correlation between the change of industrial structure and the production efficiency of railway transportation. There is a close relationship between the railway transportation industry and the process of Chinese industrialization. The change of industrial structure can positively influence the technical progress and comprehensive efficiency of the railway transportation industry, thus promoting the improvement of the production efficiency of railway transportation. The research shows that the steady and rapid technological progress is the main reason for the smooth production efficiency of Chinese railway transportation industry during he sample period, but the significant reduction in scale efficiency is an important factor in inhabiting the growth of the comprehensive efficiency; Chinese railway industry needs to reduce the intensity of construction, avoid the extraductive expansion of scale, and pay more attention to efficiency of the scale economy and the scope economy of the railway so as to improve railway scale efficiency; more attention should be paid to the utilization efficiency of transportation resources, the improvement of the intensity and frequency of resources utilization and the role of the intension expansion of reproduction so as to improve the technical efficiency; social capital and market competition should be continuously introduced, thus improving the overall production efficiency by introducing competition to suppress the inefficiency factors that may exist in the railway industry.
