Abstract: Based on the panel data of the three counties and two districts of Huzhou city from 2008 to 2017, the green economy development efficiency evaluation indicators were selected. The DEA-SBM model was used to scientifically analyze the current status of the efficiency of Huzhou’s green economy development from the two dimensions of time and region. The results showed that the efficiency value of green economy development in Huzhou city fluctuates significantly over time, and there were varying degrees of difference in efficiency values between regions. Then an indicator system from five aspects： green production, green life, economic structure, government, and technological level was designed,the Tobit model was used to perform regression analysis on the relevant factors that affect the efficiency of green economy development in Huzhou city. Finally, an optimized path to promote the better development of Huzhou’s green economy was proposed, in order to provide ideas and references for Huzhou and other cities to further practice green economic development.

Key words: green economy, efficiency, DEA-SBM model, regression analysis, Huzhou city
