Abstract: Technical progress is one of the crucial impulses of independent innovation for Chinese large-scale enterprises. In order to analyze the impact of Chinese large-scale enterprise's technical progress on independent innovation, both DEA-Malmquist index methods and Granger causality test are used to conduct empirical research and analysis. The results show as follows: Overall, the technical progress of Chinese large-scale enterprise directly promotes independent innovation. However, there are differences among different industries due to differences in technology-level changes and technology-efficiency changes. The technical progress driving independent innovation is a combined result of technology-level promotion and technology-efficiency improvement. Finally, from the angle of path selection of technical progress, the suggestions to the enterprises and industries are put forward.

Key words: large-scale enterprise, independent innovation, Malmquist productivity index, DEA, Granger causality test
