In the regional economic integration trend, the emerging economies of Asia′s rapid growth. These emerging countries through tariff reductions, land concessions, low wages of labor, rich natural resources and other internal advantages to attract enterprises to invest in local factories. The emerging countries already have manufacturing and other related conditions in the industrial cluster effect. However, the fundamentals of countries and the implementation of different economic development strategies, resulting in the polarization of the economies of developing countries, the level of production efficiency is not the same.
The study that is based on DEA (data envelopment analysis) presented by Farrell in 1957.We employ the BCC model and Malmquist productivity index to evaluate the efficiency of 30 developing countries in Asia and divided into four regions because of their geographical location during 2008 to 2014.
In the BCC model, manufacturing efficiency is the best performance of the region is Southeast Asia, South Asia followed, while West Asia and Central Asia is ranked third and fourth. In Malmquist productivity index model, the best performing area is South Asia, and the worst is Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia due to scale efficiency degradation caused by the overall efficiency is reduced, while the South Asian region due to technical efficiency and scale efficiency have grown, Western Asia and Central Asia technological progress caused by efficiency . Under the correlation Analysis, efficiency has a positive relationship with R & D investment and foreign direct investment, and has a negative relationship with crime rate. | en_US |
