Abstract:

In order to have a deep understanding on China’s telecom technical efficiency,this paper,by using data envelopment analysis (DEA) static analysis,normal distribution analysis and cluster analysis and from the dimensions of integration and region,makes an empirical study on telecom technical efficiency of 31 provinces,autonomous regions and municipalities in China from the aspects of efficiency,technical efficiency and scale efficiency of DEA during the year of 2005 to 2008. Results show that the overall technical efficiency of China’s telecom industry is relatively low,which mainly results from the pure technical inefficiency; the regional development level has great differences but with the obvious catching up effect; integrating the resources effectively,focusing on economies of scale according to local conditions can promote the development of China’s telecom industry greatly.

Key words: China’s , telecom industry, technical efficiency, data envelopment analysis model, normal distribution analysis, cluster analysis
