About One Approach for Comparing Regions of Different Countries According to the Technical Efficiency of Innovation Space

Abstract

In the work (Aivazyan, etc., 2017) it is presented a parametric description of regional innovation systems of several countries using estimates of innovative space technical efficiency obtained by the "national" models . These estimates are comparable for regions of one country, but they are not comparable for regions of different countries. We propose an approach that allows to rank the regions of different countries according to the adjusted estimates of technical efficiency, and it maintain the ratings of regions formed on the basis of "national" models. The described approach can be used in a wide class of the evaluation problems of technical efficiency and building ratings of economic entities which are operating in different institutional conditions.

“…The evolution of the innovation process models, linear models of innovation into curvilinear models led to the modern concept of the theory of open models (model = theory) of innovation (Gassmann et al 2010, Belderbos 2012Aivazian, Afanasiev and Kudrov 2017). The open innovation model is universal in nature, encompassing the high-tech industry, but also small and medium-sized enterprises.…”
