Title: Arable Land Productive Efficiency in Sichuan Province and Its Influence Factors:Based on Application of DEA Method and Tobit Model
Abstract: This paper studies the productive efficiency of arable land in Sichuan Province in the period of 1999 to 2008 using the method of data envelopment analysis(DEA),analyzes the main factors influencing the productive efficiency using the Tobit model.The result indicates that the average production efficiency of the arable land is 0.807 in Sichuan Province,and that the productive efficiency of arable land in Chengdu is always at an effective level in the period.The research concludes that the higher productivity areas should raise the scale of efficiency,while areas with lower land productivity should increase their technological input.Per capita GDP,effective irrigated area,labour input intensity and arable cropping density all have a certain effect on the productivity of arable land.
