The global financial crisis sparked by the U.S. sub-prime loan problem is now posing a serious threat to global financial markets, with its severity intensifying as widening losses and a liquidity crunch push some financial institutions to the brink of failure. The U.S. seems to be falling victim to a debt spiral, in which market turmoil is aggravating deterioration in the real economy (Please see Chart 1). While Taiwan’s situation is not as critical as the situations menacing the U.S. and Europe, because Taiwan’s corporations and financial  institutions face not serious bank losses. Due to the sharp increase in global risk premiums since July, 2007,  Most of the capital markets in different countries, the financial crisis can no longer be dismissed as someone else’s problem.

Abstract:

    This study employed DEA Window Analysis Model to assess the performances on competitiveness of 4 municipalities in China and 2 municipalities in Taiwan over 2001-2005. Sensitivity Analysis was applied to identify the individual input variable influences on these municipalities performances.

    Our finding indicated that：the overall performances poorly performed with an average efficiency score of 0.280. The well-performed municipality is Taipei City in Taiwan with an efficiency score of 0.983. 4 municipalities in China will have a long way to go and should promote employees in the field of service abilities. In the short term, China may provide employees with vocation trainings and educate employees with work skills in productive industry and services fields. In the long term, China should improve education policy and focus on upgrading employees in the field of service skills. In the future, Taipei should try to expand foreign capitals and find new ways to create more opportunities to maintain her competitive advantages.
