Abstract

Abstract:

Based on a dynamic stochastic frontier model and the Bayesian statistical method, the technical efficiency and its effect factors of the ports are analyzed by aid of the 2007---2012 panel data of 14 container terminals in the Yangtze Delta. In the modeling, handling equipment and regional factors are introduced as covariates to analyze their effects on the output of the terminal. The transportation system of the port and the employee composition are introduced as covariates to study their effects on the technical efficiency. It is evidenced that the output of the port benefits more from the inputs of handling equipment than from the area of yards and the length of berths. For exogenous variables, improvement in technical efficiency benefits more from the higher ratio of water transshipment and the larger number of worker than from the longer period of employee education and the higher ratio of international transshipment business.

Key words: dynamic stochastic frontier model, Bayesian analysis, container terminal, technical efficiency
