Research on Investment Efficiency and Policy Recommendations for the Culture Industry of China Based on a Three-Stage DEA

Abstract

The China State Council promulgated the "Culture Industry Promotion Plan" on 26 September 2009, raising the status of the culture industry to that of a strategic industry. This paper applies a three-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) model to investigate the efficiency of investments made in the culture industry in 2011 in China. The results show that the overall efficiency of the culture industry in China is still at a relatively low level. The scale of companies in the culture industry is a key factor restricting development. The external environment has a great influence on this efficiency; the efficiency gap between the eastern, central and western areas is obvious and reflects the degree of the environmental impact on the culture industry in these regions. The western region will experience progress if the environment changes. In contrast, the central and eastern regions will see less progress. This paper proposes the following corresponding policy recommendations based on the analysis. (1) China should focus on expanding the scale of culture industry enterprises. (2) We need to accelerate the market-oriented reform of cultural institutional mechanisms. (3) We should pay attention to the efficiency gap between cultural industries in the eastern, central and western areas. We should use government power to support the development of cultural industries in the western region.

The Integrated Approach for Sustainable Performance Evaluation in Value Chain of Vietnam Textile and Apparel Industry

“…DEA was used to improve patent strategies in Korea; the purposes of this research was to find which patent applications are strong or weak in South Korea and some solutions are recommended to make weak industries become strong [33]. Zeng et al employed a three-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) to estimate the efficiency of investments made in the Chinese culture industry in 2011, and the results indicate that the overall efficiency of its industry will remain low; therefore, some suggestions for improvement where made [34].…”

Demand Forecasting for Heavy-Duty Diesel Engines Considering Emission Regulations

“…In Equation (6), if news of the regulation that requires the (i + 1)-th generation technology is not yet released (t < ϕ i ), the modified sales amount is the same as the sales amount of the Norton and Bass model (S i (t) = S i (t)). When the i-th generation HDDE is phased out by the emission regulations (t > T i ), the modified sales amount is zero (S i (t) = 0).…”

“…Environmental issues have become an important topic of discussion globally, and many policies aimed at reducing exhaust emissions have been enforced in many countries [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. The exhaust gas from heavy duty diesel engines (HDDEs) includes toxic substances, such as nitrogen oxide (NO x ), hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM), which negatively impact human visual and respiratory systems [8].…”

Research on Financing Efficiencies of Strategic Emerging Listed Companies by Six‐Stage DEA Model

“…The principle of selecting these environment variables is that these environmental variables have some effects on the outputs but are uncontrolled by the companies. RMB loans balance of financial institutions at year end in local region represents the financial supporting on the development of strategic emerging companies, the number of patents in local region over the past three years represents the influence of local innovation environment on the development of strategic emerging companies, and current GDP represents local market demand [14]. These variables reflect the different aspects of the external environment in which companies are operating.…”
