Research Looking at Geographical Differences When Measuring Distribution Efficiency in China

Abstract

As a pioneer industry of the national economy, the Distribution industry can guide China's consumption and investment, and the Distribution efficiency can effectively reflect the construction effect of China's Distribution system, which is of great significance to China's economic development. Based on this, this paper uses the MinDW-MML index model to measure China's DCE based on the data of 30 provinces (cities) from 2004 to 2020, and the results show that (1) China's DCE shows an overall upward trend, and its growth mainly relies on technological progress. ( 2) DCE has obvious spatial differences, and the eastern region has obvious advantages in technology and talent. (3) DCE under the common frontier is lower than that under the group frontier. based on the above findings, targeted policy recommendations are proposed for each region to improve DCE, considering the actual national conditions of China.
