基于Malmquist指数的江苏省211高校人文社科科研效率研究

A Malmquist-index-based Study of the Efficiency of the Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences at 211-Projiect Universities in Jiangsu Province

借鉴科研绩效评价方法,使用Malmquist指数测算江苏省211高校人文社科生产力水平变化趋势,并通过Malmquist指数分解找出变化原因:211高校全要素生产率降低,是由技术进步下降而引起,虽然技术效率、纯技术效率和规模效率同时小幅上涨,但影响甚弱,不足以改变全要素生产率降低的格局,最终导致科研效率下降;而全要素生产率和技术进步的变化曲线具有明显的同步性,进一步验证技术进步对科研效率起决定作用。为高校科研主管部门制定科学政策提供基础信息和指导性建议,以促进江苏省人文社科研究持续发展。

The trend of the change in the total factor productivity （TFP） of the humanities and social sciences of the 211-Project universities in Jiangsu Province was calculated with the Malmquist index and the causes for the change was explored by decomposition of the Malmquist index. It was found that the decrease of the TFP of these schools was due to the slowing down of their technological development. Although the technical efficiency, the pure technical efficiency and the scale efficiency rose slightly, their effects were not great enough to change the decreasing TFP pattern, resulting in decreased efficiency of scientific research. It was also found that the TFP change curve and the technological progress curve were in ob- vious synchronization, further verifying the decisive role of technological progress in scientific research efficiency. This article aims to offer some basic information and guiding suggestions for research management departments＇ policy making, thus contributing to the sustained de- velopment of the humanities and social sciences in Jiangsu Province.
