摘要

摘要本文旨在完善区域创新计分板作为决策工具。对207个欧洲地区的创新产出效率进行了基于动态懈怠的数据包络分析，结果表明，将计分板分为“领先”、“强”、“中等”和“中等”的创新区域，并不能充分反映将知识投入转化为创新产出的效率差异。我们揭示了基于规模的绩效和基于效率的绩效之间的非单调关系，以及在四种基于规模的绩效类别中，各区域之间低效率的原因存在实质性异质性。我们的研究结果表明，通过增加基于效率的创新过程测量，可以扩展当前基于规模的计分板的使用。这样做解决了政策设计趋向于更加注重在立足地方的政策办法中有效利用稀缺资源的问题，并加强了记分牌作为一种信息决策工具的应用。

Improving the Regional Innovation Scoreboard for policy: how about innovation efficiency?

Abstract This paper aims to improve the Regional Innovation Scoreboard as an instrument for policy-making. Dynamic slack–based models of data envelopment analysis to measure innovation output efficiency in 207 European regions demonstrate that the scale-based performance classification of the Scoreboard into ‘leader’, ‘strong’, ‘moderate’, and ‘modest’ innovator regions inadequately reflects differences in efficiency in transforming knowledge inputs into innovation outputs. We reveal a non-monotonic relation between scale-based and efficiency-based performance and substantial heterogeneity among the reasons for inefficiency among regions within each of the four scale-based performance classes of regions. Our findings argue for an extension of the current scale-based use of the Scoreboard by adding an efficiency-based measurement of the innovation process. Doing so addresses the tendency in policy design towards an increased focus on the efficient use of scarce resources in place-based policy approaches and strengthens the application of the Scoreboard as an informative decision-making tool.

期刊介绍： Science and Public Policy is a leading refereed, international journal on public policies for science, technology and innovation, and on their implications for other public policies. It covers basic, applied, high, low, and any other types of S&T, and rich or poorer countries. It is read in around 70 countries, in universities (teaching and research), government ministries and agencies, consultancies, industry and elsewhere.
