Effectiveness Research On Financial Investment To Science And Technology Funding In Universities

In nowadays，with the development of economic globalization，science andtechnology becomes a key factor in the international competition.Facing the situationthat developed countries control the core technology and enjoy the leadingsuperiority, as a developing coutry, China must ensure continuous improvement ofits technological strength so that to occupy a favorable position in internationalcompetition, which requires the country to strengthen the input to the science andtechnology continuously. With more than20years’ implement of the strategy ofinvigorating the country through science, technology and education,scientific andtechnological activities in colleges and universities in China have made remarkableachievement, while the problems also remind us that the development of science andtechnology in universities has a long way to go.Based on the relevant data in "Gaodeng Xuexaio Keji Tongji Ziliao Huibian"(published in year from2002to2010),this dissertation studies on the financialinvestment to S&T funding in universities. Focusing on the perspective of fair,Chapter III reveals the characterization of funding for science and technology inuniversities, the overall description and classification descriptions both suggest thatgovernment funding takes the dominant proportion in universities’ science andtechnology funds. Comparing to the division based on the school type,the divisionaccording to the school size and school subjection manifest greater disparity amongeach category in the school’s technology funding. According to three criteria,classifications in this dissertation point the school which receives the most funding issuccessively Institutions directly under the Ministry,"211" and the School under boththe Ministry of Education and province,and engineering colleges, for each categoryof schools, government funding has always been the main part of the science andtechnology funds without exception.In Chapter IV, Based on multi-input and multi-output perspective, the researchfocuses on the inspection of efficiency. The results of DEA analysis shows the pooroverall efficiency and the misconduct of input-output ratio,the shortage of scienceand technology funding is an important reason for inefficiency.For governmentinvestment, the most important part of these two types of university’s science andtechnology funding,attention and resolution is urgently needed for the severity of itsfunding gap. Meanwhile the urgency of enhancing the research performance inuniversities directly under the Ministry of Education should not be overlooked. The results of SEM analysis indicates that for both the whole "211" and the School underboth the Ministry of Education and province,and Institution directly under theMinistry,government funding’s benefits is low. The study also finds that investmentin science and technology has different impact strength of efforts on the academicand patent output between the School under the Ministry of Education and otheruniversities, and the latter’s inseparable degree of combination of research is higher.According to the conclusion of the poor financial investment efficiency statedin the empirical analysis of science and technology funding, combining with reality,the final chapter supplies improving policy recommendations.With analysizing totally combined with classifily,the demonstration of twoideas and,a variety of methods’ application,this dissertation carries out acomprehensive, multi-dimensional characterization to equity and efficiency of thefinancial investment funding to universities in science and technology,whichexpands the research of university’s science and technology input mechanism,alsoprovids a reliable basis to the decision-making of improving the university’s fiscalinvestment and, is important to promot innovation-oriented nation-building.
