Sažetak
The Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta are two regions with
the highest level of economic development in China, and their port
development is at the forefront of the country. This study measures
the efficiency of 23 major ports in the two deltas from 2010 to 2018
using the meta Dynamic Directional Distance Function (D.D.F.)
model and discusses the technology gap and the reasons for inefficiency
of the ports. The research results show that 80% of the ports
in these two deltas are inefficient. The Yangtze River Delta’s port
efficiency is higher than that of the Pearl River Delta, but the internal
efficiency difference of the Yangtze River Delta port cluster is more
significant. The efficiency ranking of most ports is inconsistent
under the meta-frontier (M.F.) and group frontier (G.F.), and the
average technology gap ratio (T.G.R.) of ports in the Pearl River
Delta gradually exceeds that in the Yangtze River Delta. The inefficiency
of ports in the Pearl River Delta is caused by input factors,
and the inefficiency of ports in the Yangtze River Delta is also related
to the containerisation level.
