Evaluation of Construction Industrialization Policy Based on PMC Index Model

Abstract

Since construction industrialization can transform construction to an energy-saving, environmental friendly, and economical way of production, the State Council and some other departments of China issued a series of policies to stimulate the development of construction industrialization. However, it is difficult but critical to measure the effectiveness of these policies. This paper proposed a quantitative evaluation approach to the effectiveness of construction industrialization policies, based on five policies passed from 2014 to 2017. These policies were first quantified through text mining. Then, the policy modeling consistency (PMC) index was employed to inform the effectiveness and efficiency of the studied policies. Findings of this paper can be used as references for policy making in construction industrialization.
