区域科技自主创新效率及其收敛性研究

Study on the Efficiency and the Convergence of Regional Independent Innovation of Science and Technology

在中国2000～2007年31个省份面板数据分析的基础上，运用非参数Malmquist指数方法对科技自主创新效率进行实证分析。研究发现，中国科技自主创新效率年均增长0．9％，其中技术效率指数平均下降5．6％，技术进步指数年均增长6．9％，表明中国科技自主创新效率的提高很大程度上依赖于技术进步的增长效应。与此同时，中国东部地区科技自主创新效率明显较强，增长幅度为2．92％，明显高于中西部地区，并呈现出σ收敛现象。

Based on the analysis of the panel data of 31 provinces from 2000 to 2007, an empirical analysis is made on the efficiency of the regional independent innovation of science and technology by using the method of nonparametric Malmquist Index. Research shows that the annual average growth of the independent innovation of science and technology in China reaches 0.9%, among which the technical efficiency index decreased 5. 6% on average, and the technical advancement index increased 6.9% on average. This indicates that the increase of the efficiency of China＇ s regional independent innovation of science and technology largely depends on the growth effect of technical advancement. Meanwhile, the growth of the efficiency in the east China is 2. 92%, which is higher than middle and west China, and it presents the σ- convergence phenomenon.
