Abstract

The paper discusses the impact of patenting on technical efficiency of 489 high and medium-technology firms in India using firm level data for the period 2000–2010. Present study estimates technical efficiency based on group frontier as well as meta-frontier approach. The study employs relatively new source of data particularly in the context of India, firm level patent granted, that has not been explored earlier. The study finds that majority of Indian firms though suboptimal but has improved their efficiency during the study period. We also find an evidence of the impact of patenting on the technical efficiency of firms whereas R&D expenditure has little impact.
