Studies on the R&D efficiency of manufacturing industries of China
——Based on the data of 17 manufacturing industries in China
Abstract:R&D efficiency is the mark for the innovation performance.The R&D efficiency of 17 manufacturing industries ill China during the 10th Five-Year Plan period(2001-2005) is analyzed based on a super-efficiency Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) model,and the utilization ratio of R&D input is analyzed.The results show that more than 60% of manufacturing industries had a lower efficiency,and only a few of them have improved their efficiencies during this period,others just showed an erratic fluctuation of R&D efficiency.On the basis of the empirical analysis,some suggestions for improving the R&D efficiency of Chinese manufacturing industries are put forward.
