Production of output and ideas: efficiency and growth patterns in the United States

This paper examines efficiency and growth patterns in the production of output and ideas in the US. We employ frontier techniques and jointly estimate the production of output and the production of ideas. We find states to be particularly efficient in the use of their inputs in the production of output process, whereas there is more waste in the use of innovation resources to produce new knowledge. Our results do not lend support to the common perception that richer (more innovative) states are more efficient than less richer (less innovative) states for every dollar spent. Furthermore, an efficient in producing knowledge state is not necessarily efficient in producing goods and services. Finally, a consistent finding is that input accumulation is an important source of growth both for output and for the knowledge.

“…The decision making units (DMUs) of studies on innovation efficiency have been diverse; from firm-level to province-level, even broader to the country-level [10,11,[25][26][27][28][29][30]. Table 1 summarized recent studies of innovation efficiency.…”

“…Therefore, the innovation efficiency in this study could be an indicator of how sufficiently firms succeeded in innovation by comparing the input and output for innovation. Studies on innovation used DEA to measure innovation efficiency, as mentioned in Section 2, DEA is determined to be an appropriate method to measure innovation efficiency [10,11,[25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

“…First, we consider the input and output factors of previous literature to measure innovation efficiency. To analyze innovation efficiency precisely, we adopted the number of R&D employee and R&D expense as two input factors [11,[25][26][27][28][29][30]. Similarly, patent application and innovation sales are set as output factors [10,[25][26][27]30].…”

The Effect of Sustainability as Innovation Objectives on Innovation Efficiency

2018

Though sustainability exists as major objective of pursuing innovation, the effect of it on innovation performance is still unanswered. While the outcome of innovation should consider both input and output, moreover, studies on sustainable innovation are yet to consider the overall efficiency, but rather the performance itself. To fill the gap between the effect of sustainability as the objective of innovation and its innovation performance, and to bridge the hole between the outcome of sustainable innovation and its efficiency, we analyze the relationship between sustainability as innovation objective and innovation efficiency. We use 441 manufacturing companies in Korea from 2016 KIS data, and perform the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method to calculate efficiency score of each firm and tobit regression analysis to investigate the effect of sustainability as an objective of innovation on innovation efficiency. The results show that the objective of 'environmental improvement' negatively affects innovation efficiency, while 'safety improvement' positively affects the efficiency. On the contrary, the effect of 'material and energy reduction' as an objective of innovation on innovation efficiency is not verified. The implications, limitations, and guidelines for future research are presented.
