Abstract

Abstract: Transportation efficiency is an important index for highway transportation service evaluation. This research evaluated the highway transportation efficiency for the 16 cities of the Yangtze River Delta in 2014 using the BCC model combined with the super-efficiency model in data envelopment analysis (DEA) method. With the DEA-Malmquist method, spatial and temporal development characteristics of highway transportation total factor productivity (TFP) were analyzed. Some conclusions were drawn as follows. 1) The overall efficiency of the highway transportation in the Yangtze River Delta was high in 2014, but there were some regional differences and the integrated transportation efficiency of the southern part was significantly higher than that of the northern part, which was decided by scale efficiency. 2) Malmquist index of highway transportation from 2007 to 2014 showed a certain fluctuation but was relatively stable in overall. The fluctuation in technical progress of the highway transportation was the main factor in the change in TFP. From the point of view of the space-time evolution from 2007 to 2014, the Malmquist index increased first and then decreased, while the regional difference decreased first and then increased. The regional difference in the northern part was larger than that in the southern part.
