The Efficiency Analysis of R&D Activities for Listed High Technology Enterprises in Western China

Abstract:

in order to understand the use of research and development resources of high-tech enterprises in western China, the research and development efficiency evaluation index system is built from the research and development expenditures, research and development personnel, profitability, development ability and technological innovation ability in this paper. DEA method is applied to evaluate the relative research and development efficiency of 27 listed high-tech enterprises in western China. Empirical results show that the overall level of all samples is not high, and most of the enterprises are in inefficiency stage. There is direct proportion between size of assets and R&D efficiency for enterprises.
