AbstractThis paper applies a non-parametric method to provide level technical efficiency for 7 Tunisian ports during 18 years (1998-2015). These ports represent different data set. The use of the model of variable returns to scale (VRS) has led to interesting results. The results show that the most ports are characterized by low levels of technical efficiency, with the exception port of Rades. In addition, the result shows the variation of variable returns to scale and constant returns to scale of technical port’s efficiency. Furthermore, we concluded that the panel data improves the efficiency estimates.

Theoretical Application

This study justifies the contemporary importance of efficiency analysis. The theoretical concepts of technical, allocative, and economic efficiency are presented. Empirical problems are addressed, with different ways of measuring efficiency and their inherent disadvantages presented. A theoretical application is given for haulage firms operating on Spanish roads in six subsectors with panel data. The liberalization of goods road transport policies in the 1990s has engendered a more technically efficient reorganization of road transport regions, which will result in innovations in transport services, lower fares, greater diversity in contracts, and better transport quality.

Development Mode

Following the implementation of the 12th five-year plan, the development mode of Chinas coastal container port has changed; it thus requires higher port efficiency and an optimized development mode. This paper applies the DEA-Malmquist index to the quantitative assessment of dynamic efficiency of coastal container terminal enterprises in China. The result shows that the technical change enhanced from 2007 to 2010 year by year, however, the technical efficiency change decreased. Scale inefficiency is the main reason why the technical efficiency is low. This indicates that there is necessary for the coastal container terminal enterprises to control the investment of terminal construction. On the other hand, they should deepen reform of the management system, seek high efficiency operation mode and achieve the intensive utilization of investment.
