基于DEA和Malmquist指数法的高校科技创新效率评价——以陕西省为例

Scientific and Technical Innovation Efficiency Analysis of Shaanxi Universities: A DEA-Malmquist Analysis

摘要: 基于2003~2012陕西省高校科技创新效率时间序列数据，运用DEA方法对我国高校科技创新成果转化效率实证研究，得出陕西省高校科技创新绩效逐步提高；运用Malmquist指数法对高校科技创新绩效变化的影响因素进行分析，研究发现，陕西省高校技术进步和全要素生产率较高，而技术效率、纯技术效率、规模效率变化不明显，全要素生产率的提高主要是技术进步引起的，且技术效率提高速度缓慢会延缓全要素生产率的提高速度，因此陕西省高校科技创新的首要任务是进行创新领域的制度与管理调整。

Abstract: This paper uses data envelopment analysis to examine the technical efficiency (TE) of universities in Shaanxi province in the period 2003-2012. It is concluded that the science and technology in-novation performance of Shaanxi University is gradually increasing. We then use Malmquist index to distinguish between changes in relative efficiency brought about by movements towards or away from the efficiency frontier in a given year and shifts in this frontier over time. The analysis indicates that there is a substantial rise in TE and technology progress sore, and a relatively slower rise in technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency. The rising TE scores are largely attributed to the gains in congestion efficiency, with pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency playing minor roles. Therefore, the primary task of Shaanxi University is system and management innovation.
