Abstract This paper measures the technical efficiency in 30 provinces in China from 1978 to 2005 with DEA method. There are two aspects of innovation in this paper. Firstly, it introduces the heterogeneous production possibility set and decomposes the technical efficiency into the resource utilized efficiency and the technical level efficiency. Secondly, it constructs the efficiency difference index number to analyze the catching up effect between areas. As a whole, the technical efficiency has increased, and the catching up effect was distinctness. The decline tendency of technical efficiency and negative fluctuation of catching up effect have appeared after 2001.
