Colleges and universities play an important role in China’s scientific and technological innovation system,as well as in national innovation-driven development strategy.Nowadays,the current research mainly focuses on the "total amount" of scientific and technological innovation in colleges and universities,while the "efficiency" issue is less involved,which leads to the lack of crucial measures to effectively improve the efficiency of scientific and technological innovation in Chinese colleges and universities.Therefore,this study intends to employ GIS spatial analysis method to explore the spatial-temporal pattern of scientific and technological innovation efficiency in Chinese colleges and universities bases on the theories related to innovation,innovative geography,efficiency.Through data construction of scientific and technological innovation efficiency in Chinese colleges and universities,this study analyzes scientific and technological innovation efficiency in Chinese colleges and universities by data envelopment analysis method.Moreover,this study analyzes the spatial-temporal pattern of scientific and technological innovation efficiency in Chinese colleges and universities by employment of GIS spatial analysis and geoscience map technical analysis while researches on influencing mechanism for China university’s scientific and technological innovation efficiency by the means of spatial econometric model analysis.From the perspective of spatial pattern,within the investment index of scientific and technological innovation in colleges and universities such as R&D faculty and staff in higher education institutions and University expenditure on R&D,as well as the output index of scientific and technological innovation in colleges and universities such as R&D projects and publishing scientific papers in colleges and universities,there is a "high-high" spatial autocorrelation in eastern coastal areas while a "low-low" spatial autocorrelation in western areas.However,there is not a stable spatial accumulation trend of income from the transfer of university patent ownership in the index of scientific and technological achievements transformation from the year of 2009 towards the year of 2017.In terms of investment in scientific and technological innovation in colleges and universities,the focus of R&D personnel and expenditure in colleges and universities in China moved significantly southward from 2009 to 2017.According to the output of scientific and technological innovation in colleges and universities,the center of gravity of the number of R&D projects in colleges and universities moved significantly to the south while the income center of transfer of university patent ownership has shifted sharply northward.During the year of 2009 to 2017,there have been four spatial and temporal trends in the efficiency of technological innovation,the efficiency of pure technology and the efficiency of scale in Chinese universities,namely,continuous decline,first decline and then increase,first increase and then decline,and continuous increase.When evaluating the efficiency of scientific and technological innovation in Chinese universities,the spatial error model is better than the classical linear regression model and the spatial lag model after compared.The level of economic development and government support have no significant effect on the input-output efficiency of scientific and technological innovation in colleges and universities.The basic environment plays a significant role in ensuring the improvement of the efficiency of scientific and technological innovation in colleges and universities,while the technology spillover effect has a polarized effect on the innovation efficiency of science and technology in colleges and universities.Based on the above conclusions,this study tries to propose ways and policy suggestions to improve the efficiency of scientific and technological innovation in Chinese universities from improving the ability of attracting talents,accelerating the sharing of scientific and technological resources,continuously improving the level of scientific research management,and strengthening the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. |
