Second, using Data Envelopment Analysis and Tobit regression model to analyze the technical efficiency in the recession of CPA firms impact of technical efficiency. According to the translog cost functioning results, whether Accounting Firms affected by the recession in the industry, the cost structure of firms will differ indeed. Especially, the recession of CPA firms will more different effect than common firms on the cost structure. Besides, we calculate economies of scale of accounting firm, and the result of public accounting firms generally has scale economies. The result of Data Envelopment Analysis and Tobit regression model, when CPA firms feel depressed, accounting industry will not improvement in technical efficiency.
