WANG Xin-tian
Abstract:Objective: To support the distribution of health resources in China better. Methods: According to the related data of resident health, health resources and marketing index in China from 2005 to 2010, related conclusion was given by using stochastic frontier analysis and fixed effect panel analysis method to establish the change trend of technical efficiency in different provinces and cities. Results and Conclusion: (1) The distribution of technical efficiency in different provinces and cities are asymmetric and generally low;(2)there are obvious differences of technical efficiency among different areas;(3)government input in medical and health field should be focused on central and western areas.
