This paper analysed the inputs and outputs of public cultural services in 31 provinces of China in 2012, including municipalities and autonomous regions, based on the CCR model of DEA and the DEA cross-evaluation model. The DEAP2.1 software was also used for this empirical analysis to probe the performance and problems of the inputs and outputs of public cultural services. From analysis, this paper reached some conclusions, including the development of cultural services should be based on the increase of industrial inputs, as well as the optimization of resource allocation, so as to achieve the optimum state of inputs and outputs. The research results can provide a reference for the further improvement of the quality and inputs and outputs efficiency of public cultural services in all regions.
