“…Recently, many scholars have paid attention to it and applied it to empirical research. For example, Shen et al [32], Luo et al [33], Nakaishi et al [34], Chou et al [35], and Chou and Zhang [39]havesuccessful applications. Similar to these literature, this study uses metafrontier analysis as an exploratory tool for further estimation in case of the textile industry.…”

The meta-frontier approach can mathematically understand the production dynamics. With the help of meta-frontier approach differences, the efficiency of income and earnings between companies with different structure can be estimated. Considering the great influence of independent directors on the economic market, this study estimated such effects from the perspective of production function models. It is found that the revenue efficiency results can be optimized without considering the technology heterogeneity for listed companies. When considering the common production boundary, there is an issue that the revenue efficiency of listed companies that own official independent directors is lower than other listed companies that without official independent directors, and the empirical results show that the withdrawal of official independent directors in the market has a positive impact on the profitability of the company.

“…In terms of fiscal policy tools, subsidy policies have received widespread attention. As China's economy has experienced rapid growth for more than 40 years since the 1980s ( Zhang et al, 2017 , Chen et al, 2018 ), the contribution of agriculture to GDP in modern economic activities is relatively small, therefore, agricultural policies were mostly analyzed from the perspective of subsidies. Western scholars have different views on agricultural subsidies.…”

With the development of Chinese economy, more and more attention has been paid to environmental protection, the implementation of water price policy affects economic and environmental changes in China. This paper analyzes the impact of water price policy on agricultural land use and the scale of water pollution discharge in 240 cities in China between 2001 and 2017, by including data from China Urban Statistical Yearbook and China Land & Resources Almanac. The theoretical analysis of this study indicates that the optimal scale of pollution depends on the local initial endowment, economic investment capital and the marginal cost of environmental pollution caused by government's economic activities. Furtherly, the economic activities have a worsening impact on environmental pollution, but when the government implements environmental protection and water price policy measures in response to environmental pollution caused by economic activities, it has a significant impact on the decline in the scale of pollution. The government has promoted the pollution suppression model in the formulation of water prices, which has internalized the external cost of pollution in economic activities and can effectively reduce the scale of agricultural water pollution discharge.

“…The main reason for this imbalance is that Sichuan's economic development is based on the so-called 'high investment, low efficiency' model. One-step stochastic frontier analysis and two-step meta-frontier model are used by Chen et al [1] to investigate the productivity of coastal and non-coastal regions in Mainland China from 2000 to 2010. The results show that the coastal region has better production performance.…”

Taking the provinces, autonomous regions and cities in mainland China as the research objects, this paper collects and collates the data of production, input and energy consumption of the financial industry from 2009 to 2014, and analyzes the production efficiency of each region. The empirical results show that the production efficiency of all prefecture-level cities is 0.782. If analysed on region basis, the average production efficiency of prefecture-level cities is the highest in the eastern provinces, followed by the central provinces and the lowest in the western provinces. If analysed on annual basis, the distribution of production efficiency shows a trend of decline during 2009-2010 and increase after 2012.
