Abstract

The research focuses on the provincial universities in the western region of China and investigates the research level of 12 provincial universities from 2017 to 2021, considering both static efficiency and dynamic efficiency. The static efficiency is examined using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), while the dynamic efficiency is analyzed using the Malmquist model. The analysis results are as follows: the scientific research efficiency of universities in the 12 western provinces is generally not high. Against the background of the "Double First-Class" construction, the overall efficiency of scientific research in universities is showing an increasing trend. The main reason for the increase in scientific research efficiency is the increase in scale efficiency in recent years. The total factor productivity (TFP) of research activities is influenced by the technology progress index and exhibits a pattern of initial increase, followed by a decline, and then an increase again. Research conclusion: Western colleges and universities should reasonably allocate resources for scientific research activities, perfect scientific research mechanisms, improve management standards, promote scientific innovation and corresponding achievements, and ultimately raise the scientific and technological level in western China.

이 연구는 중국 서부지역의 대학을 중심으로 진행되었으며, 2017년부터 2021년까지 12개 대학의 연구수준을 정적 효율성과 동적 효율성을 모두 고려하여 조사하였다. 정적 효율성은 데이터 포락 분석(DEA)을 사용하여 검사하였고, 동적 효율은 Malmquist 모델을 사용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 서부12개 대학의 과학연구 효율성은 일반적으로 높지 않았으며 '쌍일류' 건설의 맥락에서 대학의 과학연구 효율성은 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있으며, 과학연구 효율성의 원인으로 최근 몇 년 동안 효율성이 크게 증가하였다. 연구 활동의 TFP (Total Factor Productivity)는 기술진보지수의 영향을 받아 초기에 증가하다가 감소하다가 다시 증가하는 패턴을 보였다. 연구 결론은 서부 대학들의 과학연구 활동을 위해 자원을 합리적으로 배분하여 효과적인 과학연구 메커니즘을 갖추어서, 관리기준을 개선하여야 한다. 이에 과학혁신과 이에 상응하는 성과를 촉진하여, 궁극적으로 중국 서부의 과학기술 수준을 높일 수 있어야 하겠다.
