“…Based on boundary conditions, the indicators, such as the ratio of agricultural industrialization, ratio of processing of food from agricultural products, and proportion of the net output of consumer goods to capital goods, were normalized using the interval-valued equation in Equation (6). The remaining indicators were positive-valued and were normalized using Equation (4). After completing the calculations in Equations (4)-(11), the results were obtained, as shown in Appendix A (Table A1).…”

“…The priority development strategy enhanced the location, policy, and resource advantages of the eastern areas and accelerated the economic growth of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta. However, China's regional economic development efficiency is low and imbalanced [4], and regional non-synergy is becoming increasingly prominent [5]. The disparity in regional development among the eastern, central, and western regions of China is the main problem to be addressed in the future.…”

The economic circle around Beijing is a very important area that supports the development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in China. The economic growths of the economic circle around Beijing are deeply affected by the regional economic disparity. Besides the resources and environment problems, economic factors may be more prominent of regional sustainability. The objective of this paper is: (1) To find out what caused the regional economic disparity of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region; and (2) to assess the economic sustainable development status of the cities around Beijing, and give suggestions to narrow the regional disparity from the economic growth view. We used an assessment method based on the economic sustainable index system—the order relation method named G1 method, revised by standard deviation. The results showed that the fundamental reason for the differences lies in the disparity in production efficiency. The disparity in the regional economy increases the flow of talent to Beijing and Tianjin, so the labor productivity of Hebei Province will not improve. Thus, the economic gap among Hebei, Beijing, and Tianjin will continue to grow. This negative feedback will further exacerbate the economic growth problem. In terms of narrowing regional disparity, some implications are highlighted. Rational industrial structure, a high level of development in the manufacturing industry, and a high proportion of strategic emerging industries are important for the cities around Beijing to achieve high-level industry transfer, and the technological progress needed to promote economic growth.

“…An extensive use of the models provided by Charnes et al (1989) can be found in Sueyoshi (1992) and MacMillan (1986MacMillan ( , 1987 who measured the regional economic planning in the USA. Byrnes and Storbeck (2000) applied a multi-unit DEA analysis to regional economic development policy to Chinese cities. They used the data from Charnes et al (1989), but in their model they had one output (value of gross industrial output) and two inputs (size of labour force and level of investment/capital) recorded for the years 1983 and 1984.…”

This paper, using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), measures for the first time the economic growth policies of the Greek prefectures. Based on the neoclassical model of growth it uses private and public investments and labour force as inputs and GDP per capita as output for the time period of 2003-2006. The results indicate that there are significant regional policies inefficiencies among the Greek prefectures. Additionally, growth inefficiencies within the 13 administrative regions are reported. Finally, the analysis provides benchmarks for policy evaluation and suggestions for region-based approaches to growth problems. JEL Classification

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is an effective measure tool to evaluate the regional input-output efficiency. After the brief review of existing literature, as well as the principle of DEA, this paper evaluates the input-output efficiency of China's 31 provinces (municipality) via the approach of DEA. The result shows that there are respectively three, one and three provinces from east, center to west are efficient in rural input-output. Moreover, the average efficiencies of the three regions are very close, and the effect of different region is not significant to rural input-output.
