Principle Component Analysis Method is used to evaluate the ports'potential developing ability in the view of Central Government and the provincial goverment so as to find out the effects the policy has put on these ports. Grey Correlation Analysis Method is used to evaluate the actual developing status of the ports with output and output increasing rate as static and dynamic guidelines in order to validate the solution calculated by Principle Component Analysis Method and analyse the impact's exent of the policy.Finally, choosing the five ports in Jiangsu Province as research objects, which all used to be led by both Central Government and the local government and have been released to the local government simultaneously, the thesis gives suggestions for the central, provincial and local government to keep the ports developing proportionately.
