The empirical results are as follows: First of all, during the sample period, the best performer of the “technical efficiency performance” is “Eastern” business unit, followed by “Kaohsiung & Pingtung”. The relatively worse performance districts are “Northern two” and “Southern” districts which resulted from dissimilar inefficiency reasons, “purely technical inefficiency”. Even that, there’s still have same points to improve for each district. Secondly, if we focus on the “changes of total factor productivity” and its sources, we will observe there is a downward sloping trend for each districts. The main reason is from technical declining, and to make productive margin descending. All in all, comparing to past papers which focus mainly on the industry hierarchy of property insurance companies, we perform further micro analysis, or detail-oriented, and focus on the internal business units with the purpose of providing additional relevant information for managers’ better strategy making reference.
