本文以1989年台湾观光业调查资料为基础，运用DEA方法评估台湾地区旅行社的技术效率，并运用Tobit截尾回归技术检验技术效率与企业特性之间的关系。实证结果表明，旅行社规模对技术效率有负向影响。位于台北的旅行社比位于台湾其他地区的旅行社效率低。有分支或分支机构的旅行社比没有任何分支的旅行社效率低。专业从事出境游、探亲游、短途出境游的旅行社比其他类型的旅行社效率更高。开放前与开放后旅行社的技术效率没有显著差异。
Based on the 1989 survey data of Taiwan's tourism industry, this paper uses DEA to assess technical efficiency of travel agencies in Taiwan, and applies the Tobit censored regression technique to examine the relationship between technical efficiency and firm-specific characteristics. The empirical results show that a travel agency's size has a negative impact on its technical efficiency. Travel agencies located in Taipei are less efficient than those located in other areas of Taiwan. Travel agencies with a branch or branches are less efficient than those without any branch. Travel agencies specialized in providing outbound business as well as visiting relatives services and majored in short-haul outbound tourism service are more efficient than other types of travel agencies. Technical efficiencies of travel agencies established before and after the entry deregulation are not statistically different.
