Abstract
Given that a fraction of the output is not explained by variations in traditional inputs, public innovative spillovers effects may represent important implications on industrial efficiency. This study aims to identify the factors and characteristics that determine the technical efficiency of the Brazilian industry, using the DEA and logistic regression model. The results pointed that investments in non-traditional inputs are efficiency drivers. Regarding to public investments and technological intensity, no innovative spillover effects were found to contribute to technical efficiency for the analyzed Brazilian industries.
