Description :
This paper investigates the data envelopment efficiency of urban agglomerations in China with different population sizes and geographical locations. It first explores the relationship between the elements that make up a decomposed model of efficiency and compares the efficiency performance of China’s UAs with that of 35 central cities. Moreover, the exogenous factors determining the input–output efficiency of UAs, the question of how to improve UAs’ efficiency performance, as well as the focus of future research are also discussed.
