Application of Data Envelopment Analysis to Efficiency Evaluation on R&D Input and Output

摘要

As the role of economic development, science and technology got more and more get people's attention, the efficiencyof R&D input also gradually becomes the focus of political and academic discussion. This paper expounds theprinciple of data envelopment method, and then builds an evaluation index system of the efficiency in R&D input andoutput of the research and development institutions (R&D institutions) based on DEA method, after reading related literaturesat home and abroad. Using related data of Chinese 30 provinces (lack of Tibet) R&D institutions to verify the establishedmodel, namely, measuring and analyzing output efficiency, input redundancy and output deficiency of RegionalR&D institutions in China R&D input, and concluding the regional characteristics of R&D activities. The evaluation Indexsystem of regional R&D institutions of our country not only has important guiding significance to the efficiency evaluation,and the results of the validation research also is of great significance to clear R&D institutions development goals,improve configuration of R&D resources, and improve the level of their scientific research ability.
