Abstract

This paper investigates the spatial and temporal dynamics of urban comprehensive efficiency in 38 Chinese cities from 2015 to 2019. Using data envelopment analysis (DEA), the study reveals that coastal cities consistently outperformed inland cities. Changzhou and Jiaxing consistently ranked highly, showcasing efficient resource allocation and utilization. The study also identifies inefficiencies in governance, ICT, financial structures, and potential over-employment in urban governments, offering recommendations for improvement.
