Recent researches in modern post include the relationship between modern post and foreign countries, the study of local post history, post modernization, private letters Bureau, and management system.

This thesis uses the DEA theory to estimate efficiency of modern post.This thesis uses number of post offices, business spending, number of workers and post mileage as input index, number of mail, parcel, exchange development sales and business income as output index. And based on concept of postal efficiency and DEA theory and foundation of the model, DEAP-xpl software was used to calculate efficiency value, including multiple technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency, in1919-1930of24postal districts respectively..Utilizing the efficiency value, the thesis compares the difference and change of efficiency value among the24postal districts on horizontal and longitudinal respects. Meanwhile, this thesis studies the impact of each index on post effectiveness using the example of1930, by remove an index and compare the change in efficiency value.It’s found in this thesis that input and output has strong relevance.The postal has great importance to technological innovation and promotion, also a strong ability to adopt new technology.In terms of factors affecting the efficiency, exchange development sales and business income has the strongest effect on the effectiveness of the postal in the four output indexes, while the mail and the parcel weakest.
