RESEARCH ON TOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT OF MAJOR PORTS IN CHINA

摘要


As a transportation hub, the port is not only a gateway to participate in global trade, but also can drive the development of regional economy. Therefore, it has become an important resource for a country or region. Since the financial crisis in 2008, the shipping market has experienced many fluctuations. In order to cope with the new changes and development trend of international ports, how to improve the production efficiency of our ports and thus enhance the competitiveness has become a very worthy research issue. This paper uses DEA-Malmquist model, selects cargo throughput, operating income and net profit as output indicators, berth length, berth number, fixed assets and operating expenses as input indicators, calculates and studies the changes in total factor productivity of ten ports from 2007 to 2018, and analyzes the impact of efficiency changes and technological changes on total factor productivity. The results show that: (1) Total factor productivity of the ten ports as a whole has shown a downward trend in the past 11 years, mainly due to technological changes. (2) The market volatility caused by the financial crisis reduced the overall total factor productivity in a short time. (3) The adoption of active economic policies and management system reform can significantly promote the improvement of efficiency changes and technological changes. Finally, combined with the results of empirical analysis, some suggestions are put forward, such as increasing investment in scientific research, rational planning of scale, deepening system reform, etc.
