Abstract

In order to comprehensively evaluate the effect of industrial transformation, the concept of ecological efficiency was introduced in this paper due to its merit of integrating social, economic, and environmental factors. The indicator system and model of ecological efficiency evaluation was subsequently established, while the model based on data envelopment analysis is hopeful to reduce the subjectivity of evaluation. The case study on the Pearl River Delta Urban Cluster shows the generally increased ecological efficiency during the process of industrial transformation. However, the declined returns to scale implies the lack of satisfactory harmony among different cities in the Pearl River Delta Urban Cluster. Certain suggestions to improve ecological efficiency was put forward based on the results.
