The relationships between Chinese current R&D resources and R&D outputs——Based on data of the second Chinese R&D resource investigation

Abstract

Abstract: Previous studies on R&D performance measurement usually use R&D gross indicators to measure R&D inputs. However, using gross indicators to measure R&D inputs is unable to find the different impacts of R&D input structure and characteristics on R&D outputs. Using the data of latest nationwide R&D resource investigation, the relationships among Chinese current R&D expenditure structures, R&D researcher characteristics, and R&D outputs are empirically examined. The results suggest that the R&D types, purposes, and sources have the impact on R&D outputs with subtle difference. Also, the gender, education, and job character of R&D researchers have the impact on R&D outputs with subtle difference. Therefore, using gross indicators to measure R&D input is unable to find above results. It is better to conduct specific analysis under different contexts.

Key words: second R&D resource investigation, R&D expenditure structure, R&D researcher characteristic, R&D output
