Abstract—Improving the quality and level of ecological public goods supply is crucial for enhancing the public happiness index and ensuring ecological welfare, as a high-quality ecological environment has significant positive externalities. Based on the DEA model, this paper uses data envelopment analysis to evaluate and compare the supply efficiency of rural ecological public goods in 500 towns in Northwest China, and the results show that the overall level of rural ecological public goods supply in Northwest China is low, which will become an obstacle to the further growth of agricultural economy in Northwest China. Furthermore, the Tobit model is used to empirically measure the impact of rural ecological public goods supply on output efficiency. The results show that, in addition to the area of residential areas, the other variables, including domestic sewage treatment input, toilet facility reform input, domestic waste treatment input, per capita annual income and distance from village to county seat, all have a positive impact on the output efficiency of ecological public goods, although some effects are not statistically significant. In the process of building a new countryside in the new era, the supply of ecological public goods can be led by the government, and the supply and construction of ecological public goods can be promoted from the perspective of the government, farmers and the environment, combined with social participation and market-oriented operation.

Keywords—ecological public goods supply, output efficiency, impact studies
