Innovation efficiency evaluation of the innovation subjects and their regional difference

Abstract

Abstract: This paper evaluates the innovation efficiencies and determinants of China's three main innovation bodies - enterprises, universities and institutes by building stochastic frontier module, and gives an empirical research of the panel data that covers 30 provinces in China during 1999 to 2008. The results show that all the innovation activities of the three main bodies depend much on innovation resources, and the innovation efficiencies of them are all lower than 1, enterprises perform worst. Technological inefficiency factors notably exist. Governmental funds and the linkage of the main bodies have distinct roles. Moreover, the cluster analysis reveals that there are considerably less enterprise innovation high-efficiency areas, and relatively more university and institute innovation high-efficiency areas. Efficiency differences between the main bodies of the regional innovation, and the differences between the areas show the power source and characteristics of the development of the regional innovation.

Key words: Innovation body, innovation efficiency, stochastic frontier analysis, regional difference
