Research on the Efficiency of Cross-Region Scientific and Technological Innovation Resources Allocation in Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle

Abstract

Analyzing the efficiency of cross-region scientific and technological innovation resources allocation in Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle is helpful to understand the achievements in the construction of economic circle and development trend, and it is great significance to important growth pole for promoting the high-quality development of Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle. Applying the method of three-stage DEA, combined with the input-output data of scientific and technological innovation resources in 44 regions of Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle from 2014 to 2019, this paper studies the allocation efficiency and influencing factors of scientific and technological innovation resources in this region during this period. Results indicate that: Firstly, after excluding the influence of external environmental factors, the average allocation efficiency of scientific and technological innovation resources in Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle changes little from year to year and is at a low level. The allocation efficiency composition of each region is generally characterized by high pure technical efficiency and low scale efficiency. Secondly, the improvement of the degree of opening to the outside world and the level of education investment is conducive to the improvement of the allocation efficiency of scientific and technological innovation resources, while the improvement of the level of economic development and the adjustment of industrial structure have not effectively driven the improvement of the allocation efficiency of scientific and technological innovation resources to a certain extent.
