Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 產業經濟研究所在職專班 === 105 === This thesis examines technical efficiency and its determinants of Hi-tech Zones in China. Based on 115 National Hi-tech Zones from 2007 to 2014,the first step estimation using data envelopment analysis (DEA) shows that the average technical efficiency is low that reaches only 0.36 and 0.46 under the assumption of constant return to scale (CRS) and various return to scale (VRS), respectively.The second step Tobit estimations find that. Regarding the determinants of VRSTE, we find that park scale, R&D expenses,and exports are significantly and positively related to technical efficiency, whereas park ageis insignificant on affecting technical efficiency.
