We make empirical analysis based on agricultural credit institutions in Jiangsu under super-efficiency model. The results of DEA method show that among Jiangsu agricultural credit institutions, state-owed commercial banks, joint stock commercial banks have the highest efficiency, whereas the efficiency of the rural cooperative financial institutions is relatively lower.
