Technical Efficiency Analysis of China’s Telecommunication Infrastructure: A Copula-Based Meta-Stochastic Frontier Model

Abstract

This research aims to quantify the technical efficiency of economic growth based on export promotion in China’s various economic regions using infrastructure construction data from 2001 to 2019. The copula-based meta-stochastic frontier model (CMSFM) is used to process it. According to CMSFM’s findings, the average efficiency of overall economic areas is 0.1335. The Eastern region’s efficiency is 0.0190, the Central region’s efficiency is 0.0353, the Western region’s efficiency is 0.0893, and the Northeast region’s efficiency is 0.3906. According to the model’s findings, the Northeast region has the highest technical efficiency. Furthermore, the outcome of estimation using the CMSFM model indicates that China’s telecommunication infrastructure needs to be improved.
