The Empirical Study On The Efficiency Evaluation And Ascension Path Of China’s Provincial Innovation Driven Development

Since the eighteen National Congress of the CPC put forward "the implementation of innovation driven development strategy","13th Five-Year"plan again put forward the" in-depth implementation of the innovation driven development strategy ",so transforming china’s development model from elements-driven by investment to innovation-driven is imperative.Therefore it is very important to accurately measure the efficiency of innovation driven development in china,put forward the optimal path and policy recommendations to improve the efficiency.The thesis made input-output two stages’ relationship-coefficient path diagram of innovation driven development based on SEM model,and constructed index system according to that diagram.Using DEA model,it measured the innovation driven development’s efficiency level of China’s 30 provinces in 2004-2015 respectively from innovation driven development of knowledge and development of economic environment two angles,then studied the ascension path quantitatively and policy suggestion on that basis.The empirical results are as follows:first,Dynamic analysis shows that the Malmquist index of innovation driven knowledge development on the whole is higher than the Malmquist index of innovation driven economic environment for the 30 provinces;and static analysis shows that 1/3 of the provinces in China have the tendency of high efficiency of innovation driven knowledge development,and low efficiency of innovation driven economic environment.Second,The static and dynamic analysis show that the innovation driven development of knowledge’s efficiency and the innovation driven development of economic environment’s efficiency have big differences in different provinces,and this two kinds of efficiency were completely disconnect in some provinces.Third,dynamic analysis shows that the efficiency of innovation driven knowledge development in the 30 provinces were in a state of growth,but there were 29 provinces’ efficiency of the development of the economic environment were in a state of negative growth;and static analysis shows that the innovation driven development of knowledge’s efficiency showed a trend of increasing returns to scale in 22 provinces,meanwhile the innovation driven development of economic environment’s efficiency showed a trend of diminishing returns to scale in china’s 20 provinces.Forth,dynamic analysis shows that the negative growth of 30 province’s Malmquist Index of innovation driven development of knowledge and economic environment was mainly due to the negative growth of technological progress index.Finally,According to the result of static efficiency measurement,regarded the region whose efficiency value was 1 as a benchmarking,and improved the technical efficiency of the region whose efficiency didn’t reach 1 by combination of benchmarking region,so as to improve the comprehensive efficiency of provincial innovation driven development.
