Spatial Effects of Innovation Efficiency in High-tech Industries Based on DEA-Malmquist Model

Abstract

New productive forces, driven by innovation and characterized by high-tech features, are essential for promoting high-quality economic development. These forces emphasize technological innovation as their core and industrial upgrading as their direction. Based on this premise, this paper combines the upgrading of high-tech industry with scientific and technological innovation, analyzing the innovation efficiency and the spatial effect. The results reveal significant regional disparities in the innovation efficiency across 30 regions in china, with notable differences between the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei economic region, coastal areas, and other regions. Analysis indicates that the panel Spatial Lag Model provides the best fit. Government support, economic development, and urbanization exert positive spatial effects on innovation efficiency, while technological talent, international openness, and education exhibit negative spatial effects.
