Safety assessment and empirical analysis on Chinese materia medica industry in China / 中草药

ABSTRACT

To promote the sustainable development of Chinese materia medica (CMM) industry in our country. The safety evaluation index system of CMM industry was established by Delphi and industrial safety theory. Through literature research and gray prediction, the relevant data were collected and analyzed. The safety of CMM industry during 2007-2013 was evaluated and analyzed by entropy-weight and TOPSIS method. Prices of CMM, external dependence degree of import, CMM research and development costs and CMM patent have a great influence on the safety of CMM industry. Our CMM industry is not safe during 2007-2010, but basic safety during 2011-2013. Through the empirical analysis on the safety assessment in CMM industry, the conclusion is reliable and has guiding significance for the sustainable development of CMM industry.
