Abstract

The verification data of innovation efficiency comes from the status quo of innovation efficiency in thirty-one provinces in China from 2010 to 2020. To observe the development and changes of China’s regional innovation efficiency more clearly, the study takes 11 years as the overall time to study China’s regional innovation efficiency. The analysis method is to use the network super SBM-Malmquist model to measure and analyze the efficiency of innovation. Results show that recent years the innovation efficiency of China is increasing, the speed of technological efficiency is not as fast as the technological progress index. Technological progress has a greater impact on innovation efficiency than technological efficiency. There are regional differences in the growth rate of innovation efficiency in various provinces of China. According to the research conclusions, in terms of increasing the investment in fiscal innovation expenditure and reforming the investment method of fiscal innovation expenditure, countermeasures and suggestions to further improve the efficiency of regional innovation in China put forward.
