Study on the Evaluation of Technological Innovation Efficiency of Industrial Enterprises in Central and Western China: Based on DEA approach

Abstract

Based on the importance of industrial innovation efficiency, this paper conducts dynamic and static analyses of the technological innovation efficiency of industrial enterprises in the central and western areas of China from years 2010 to 2021 using the DEA-BCC model and Malmquist index based on relevant data. The results indicate that the efficiency of technological innovation in China has steadily increased, with the innovation efficiency in the central and western areas stabilizing at a relatively high level. Additionally, the study identifies that the prosperity of local industries significantly influences industrial scientific and technological innovation efficiency. Consequently, the article provides more specific recommendations for formulating industrial policies that impact industrial prosperity.
