Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺北商業技術學院 === 商學研究所 === 101 === The end of September 1993, the elderly population in Taiwan over the age of 65 reach 1,480,0005,200 people over 7.09% of the total population, an aging society has reached the United Nations World Health Organization set indicators. Elderly population’s functions aging, resulting in many chronic diseases, causing loss of part or multiple body functions obstacles, and They need long-term care, nursing, rehabilitation, personal life and social support they need care. Therefore, for the city and county governments elders care is not to be ignored. The main purpose of this study is to explore Taiwan’s nursing homes operating efficiency of the empirical model and examines the degree of influence of the external environment variables. In this study, by the secondary data of the Statistics Department of the Ministry, we use four-stage Data Envelope Analysis (DEA) to investigate the efficiency of nursing homes. The input variables is available for the number of live, social workers, nurses, service people; output variables is the number of actual live. The first stage of the average efficiency is 0.976, and the standard deviation is 0.035. The second stage is Tobit regression, setting the environment variable for the elderly population and the nurse’s license number, including. The results showed that the number of the elderly population in the region for the difference between the variable inputs have positive effects on. The third stage is to re-adjust the input variables. The fourth stage is re-run the corrected input variables value of CCR efficiency, and we want to check whether there is a significant difference compared with the first phase of production efficiency and the four phase. Summarizing the empirical results of this study, the difference test of the efficiency of the two groups in the first stage and the fourth stage do exist significant differences in the 1% significance level.
