进行农业生产效率综合评价研究,有助于全面了解区域农业发展趋势及其对经济发展的影响。本文以江苏省204国道样带区为研究区域,选取1980年、1990年、2000年和2007年四期农业生产投入和产出类指标,运用DEA模型方法开展了农业生产效率实证研究。结果表明:①改革开放以来,整个区域农业综合技术效率水平呈先下降后上升趋势,其中1980年综合效率平均值最高,达0.9679,1990年最低,为0.9322;②除如皋市外,中部其他地区农业经济效率普遍较高,南部和北部地区农业综合效率变化幅度较大,农业综合效率的高低与地区经济发展水平、科技水平等因素之间并不存在着必然的联系;③灌南、滨海、东台3个地区农业综合技术效率、纯技术效率和规模效率均一直处于有效状态;响水县一直处于纯技术效率有效、规模效率无效状态;常熟市农业纯技术效率和规模效率均一直处于无效状态;其他地区都在不断变化中。农业生产效率评价结果基本反映了过去30年来我国农业发展政策导向、管理与技术进步等情况,具有一定的决策参考价值。
With the implementation of reform and opening up policies, the development of agriculture and rural areas are experiencing a transition period, characterized by the shift from the traditional and single agricultural development modes to the modern and integrated agricultural development modes and from planned rural economy to the market economy system, particularly over the eastern coastal developed areas. It is essential to improve agricultural resources use efficiency for modern agricultural development. The present study about improving agricultural production efficiencies would provide meaningful reference to capture major agricultural development trends and to quantify their influences on the whole economic development. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model is a quantitative evaluation method to reliably evaluate agriculture production efficiency. In this paper, the model was adopted to evaluate the agriculture production efficiency in a typical region along the national highway 204 in Jiangsu Province, China. Seven indexes depicting agriculture production inputs and outputs in 1980, 1990, 2000 and 2007 were selected, i.e., the cultivated area, the total power of agricultural machinery, the rural electricity consumption, the irrigated area, and the cross output value of farming. The results are shown as follows; 1) Since the late 1970s, the agriculture production efficiencies has decreased by the year 1990 and then increased since year 2000. In year 1980, the average value of agriculture production efficiencies across the whole region peaked, showing a value of roughly 0.9679. In 1990, it was found to be the lowest, with a value of 0.9322; 2) The agricultural efficiencies of the counties in the middle areas were higher than that in the south and the north except Rugao County. The interannual variations in agricultural efficiencies were relatively large in the south and north regions. There was no pronounced relationship between the levels of comprehensive agricultural efficiencies and the levels
