Abstract:Based on the 2005--2014’s Panel Data of northeastern provinces , building eco-efficiency indicator system of super efficiency DEA, using super-efficiency DEA model to evaluate regional eco-efficiency, and using Malmquist index to calculate variation of efficiency value, through horizontal and vertical comparative analysis of the underlying causes of each change, eco-efficiency study found that the Northeast region showed a good tendency as a whole, and provincial efficiency is always greater than 1, technological progress and scale efficiency the main driving force of development, through empirically analyze regional eco-efficiency factors by Tobit model, results show that R & D intensity for eco-efficiency and utilization of foreign capital were positive impacts, but the industrial structure, population density and urbanization rate are negative. Finally, making recommendations for improving eco-efficiency area.
