Abstract: Abstract Township and village enterprises (TVEs) have played a significant role in the growth of the Chinese economy since the economic reforms of 1978. They accounted for 47 per cent of total industrial output in 20002 and their annual average real growth rate over the 10-year period 1988–99 was as high as 19 per cent.3 This chapter analyses the productive efficiency of TVEs and the sources of their efficiency. Various indicators of productive efficiency for a cross-section of TVEs in the manufacturing sector are estimated and compared with those for state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and for some of TVEs’ major international competitors.
