As a worldwide chain retail company, Walmart and Costco ranked 1st and 27th respectively in the 2021 Fortune Global 500 companies. This paper selects the operating income, profit, total assets, number of stores and number of employees of Walmart and Costco from 2009 to 2021 as a research sample to measure the input-output efficiency of Walmart and Costco before and after the epidemic through the DEA-Malmquist model. The results of data analysis show that the output efficiency of Walmart and Costco is greatly affected by the efficiency of its technological changes. Combined with the empirical results and the explanation of economic significance, this paper proposes to optimize the operation and management measures of Walmart and Costco and improve the utility ratio in the era of the epidemic.
