Abstract

This research dynamically evaluates the innovation efficiency of China’s high-tech industry and explores the efficiency differences in basic innovation, application innovation, and income innovation of this industry for different regions. Based on panel data of 30 provinces from 2015 to 2019, we construct a three-stage dynamic DDF (Directional Distance Function) model, divide the high-tech industry into three stages and measure the efficiency of the three stages. From 2015 to 2019, most of the total efficiency of China’s high-tech industries showed an upward trend, with the western region having the highest total efficiency value and the central region the lowest. Most of the 30 provinces present basic innovation efficiency < applied innovation efficiency < profitable innovation efficiency. The conclusions from the article’s empirical analysis can help developing countries concerned find out key links to improve the efficiency of high-tech entrepreneurship and innovation and then formulate relevant industrial policies.
