Abstract: The study was focused on the Laizhou, Dongying, Weifang and Binzhou ports in the Yellow River Delta, input-output data from the  ports in this region from 2010 to 2017 were selected to measure their dynamic efficiency based on DEA (data envelopment analysis) and Malmquist productivity model. The results show an increase in the overall technical efficiency of the main ports in the Yellow River Delta. From the perspective of dynamic efficiency, the Malmquist productivity growth rate of the four major ports in the Yellow River Delta area increase and is positive. There is a significant gap between the total factor productivity of different ports.The main driving factor affecting the total factor productivity of the Yellow River delta ports is not simply technological progress, but also scale efficiency changes.

Key words: resource integration, DEA , Malmquist productivity index, Yellow River Delta , total factor productivity
