practical quantitative results that are helpful to the improvement of university
research efficiency.
Specifically, the Tobit model in this section is as below:
DEAscoreit¼a 0 þb 1 Capitalitþb 2 Easternitþb 3 Centralitþb 4 JUitþb 5 SHZUit

whereDEAscoreitis the DEA efficiency score of ith university in t year;a 0 is
constant term;b 1 ;b 2 ;b 3 ;...;bn;are slope coefficients; Xnitare explanatory vari-
ables like SciTech, HighTech, and so on;litis error term.
To deal with panel data, two common methods are usually estimated, one is
fixed effect model by including a universityfixed effect invariant with time; the
other is random effect model. According to the results of Hausman test,fixed effect
model is much better for our data.
