This paper studies the relationship between accounting profits and technical efficiency of manufacturing enterprises in Shanghai during the period of 1989-1992 and examines which factors affect the profitability of manufacturing enterprises.

Then, we test for the presence of ownership effects of technical efficiency on profits of those enterprises in these four industries.
