Abstract

Six software export cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, etc. have been chosen by Chinese government as software export bases since 2004 in order to accelerate software industry internationalization. However, the efficiency of the software cities has not yet been paid enough attention. This paper firstly overviews the history of Chinese software industry. Then it analyzes the correlation between software exports and the revenues of software industry. Thirdly, this paper estimates the efficiency of the main software export cities based on data envelopment analysis. Lastly, it gives some suggestions for improving efficiency of software export cities for local governments.
