Abstract: 【Objective】Clarify the efficiency and influencing factors of financial services in rural areas in Anhui Province,improve the quality of financial services,and provide guarantee for the implementation of rural revitalization strategy.【Methods】Using the relevant data of 16 cities in Anhui Province from 2014 to 2019,the efficiency of financial services for rural revitalization was calculated and its key influencing factors were analyzed by building DEA-Tobit model.【Results】From 2014 to 2019,the provincial average comprehensive efficiency of rural revitalization of financial services in Anhui Province was 0.811-0.999,exhibiting a U-shaped trend and in an effective state overall. From 2014 to 2016,the comprehensive efficiency was on the decline,and from 2016 to 2019,it was progressively rising. The comprehensive effectiveness varies among cities. With an average value of 0.955 to 0.963,the combined effectiveness of Suzhou,Liu′an,Huaibei,Hefei,and Chizhou was in a highly effective state. With the average value of the entire province and the average value of all cities ranging from 0.910 to 1.000,the overall allocation of pure technical efficiency was in an efficient state. Among them,the average value of the whole province in 2014 and 2019 was the best(both 1.000),and the average value of Ma′anshan and Tongling was the best(both 1.000). The average scale efficiency of the whole province was 0.930. Among the selected the influencing factors,“the increase of labor resources over the previous year”(the regression coefficient was 0.017,P=0<0.01)had an extreme significantly positive impact on the comprehensive efficiency of all cities,while “the urbanization rate of permanent population”(the regression coefficient was -0.424,P=0.004<0.01)had an extreme significantly negative impact on the comprehensive efficiency.【Conclusion】The effectiveness of financial services for rural revitalization in Anhui Province is redundant. Important variables influencing the effectiveness of rural revitalization of financial services include “the increase of labor resources over the previous year” and “the urbanization rate of the permanent population”.
