Abstract

As the core subject of scientific and technological innovation, the efficiency of university scientific and technological achievement transformation is an important indicator for measuring the allocation of innovation resources and the level of social development. Based on the scientific research input and output data of universities in 25 provinces in China from 2019 to 2023, this study adopts the Super-efficiency CCR-DEA model and the Super-efficiency CCR-Malmquist index model to conduct a dual measurement and evaluation study on the short-term static and long-term dynamic efficiency of university scientific and technological achievement transformation in various provinces. The study finds that: (1) There is a certain correlation between the level of regional economic development and the efficiency of university achievement transformation, but the two are not a simple linear relationship. The actual performance of transformation efficiency depends more on the rationality of scientific research resource allocation and the practical effect of innovation output. (2) The total factor productivity of university achievement transformation in the 25 provinces continues to rise. The efficiency presents a pattern of “superior in the East, inferior in the West; strong in the South, weak in the North”. It is suggested that universities should improve policies, attach importance to technology, introduce talents, promote transformation, and promote the optimized development of scientific research management.
