Abstract
With the development of IT industry, Chinese IT firms have become listed on overseas stock markets one after another. Decision-makers are mainly concerned about firms’ capacity and efficiency of raising funds overseas. In order to assess their performances, IT firms are defined as a two-stage production process. The first one is the operational process and the other is the market financing process. This paper aims to evaluate and analyze the operational efficiency and market efficiency of 28 Chinese IT firms listed on NASDAQ from 2008 to 2011 using the advanced DEA method. The study shows that the inefficiency mainly results from the market financing stage. Decomposition of the technical efficiency indicates that it is not the scale but the pure technical inefficiency or the week capacity of raising funds overseas lowered the market efficiency. Therefore, IT firms should cautiously choose financing by listing overseas under the current international economic downturn.
