The Evaluation of Port Investment Effect on Regional Economic Development Using DEA Method
A port is the core resource to bring up regional economic development. The paper uses the method of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to evaluate the effect of port investment on a regional economy. It establishes the evaluation model, taking the Shanghai port as the example, to do the empirical analysis by using real data. The results show that the effect value of the Shanghai port on the regional economy is 1 for the recent 10 years, which means it is very effective. Furthermore, it uses a statistical model for the empirical test and regression analysis of the port investment with the regional economy. It shows that the correlation coefficient is 0.935 between the port investment and GDP of Shanghai. The significance probability is less than 5%, which means the linear regression is obvious.
