Analysis of natural resource total factor productivity in China’s eastern coastal region based on integrating static SBM-DEA with multi-frontier decomposition
Analysis of natural resource total factor productivity (NTFP) in China’s eastern coastal region reveals a persistent advantage, approximately 2.3 to 2.8 times greater than inland areas, driven by marine industrial concentration and innovation. Integrating static SBM-DEA with multi-frontier decomposition, this research identifies regional technology disparities, provincial heterogeneity, and intra-provincial inefficiencies as key drivers. Leading coastal provinces, like the Yangtze and Pearl River Deltas, define the national efficiency frontier, while others lag due to internal inefficiencies.
