“…Their research discovered that the USA, Japan, Korea and Taiwan had become global leaders and that the performance of larger-scale semiconductor companies was better. Chen et al (2006) apply DEA and Malmquist productivity indices to evaluate the relative efficiency and productivity of the six high-tech industries currently developed in Taiwan's Hsinchu Science Park. The results of technical efficiency indicate that the computer industry and semiconductor industry had the best performance while the other four industries, communications, photo-electronics, precision equipment, and biotech, were operated relatively inefficiently.…”

“…During the downturn in the global economy, the semiconductor industry, unlike other industries, needed to increase its fixed assets (x 1 ), employee numbers (x 2 ), R&D expenses (x 3 ) and cost of sales (x 4 ) continuously. Thore et al (1996) (x 2 ) Employees: the count of staff in a company Chen et al (2006); Hung and Lu (2008); Thore et al (1996) (x 3 ) R&D expenses (unit: million NT$): costs of research and development activities arising from personnel, transaction, maintenance, materials and other fees Chu et al (2008); Thore et al (1996) (x 4 ) Cost of sales (unit: million NT$): to the cost of the initial inventory, add sales over the given period, and then subtract the cost of the final inventory Chen et al (2006); Hung and Lu (2008); Thore et al (1996) Output (y 1 ) Net sales (unit: million NT$): the operating income after deducting for operating expenses Hung and Lu (2008); Thore et al (1996) (y 2 ) Market value (unit: million NT$): the product of the weighted average stock price and the outstanding shares Hung and Lu (2008); Thore et al (1996) …”

Abstract. The semiconductor industry has been regarded as one of the most important industries by Taiwan due to the market share of Taiwan's semiconductor industry in 2011 ranked second worldwide. However, the European debt crisis triggered a global economic recession in 2011, causing Taiwan's output of semiconductors in 2010 and 2011 to show negative growth. This paper will mainly explore, from the performance evaluation perspective, the Malmquist productivity index of the Taiwan's semiconductor industry based on a metafrontier approach. The empirical results show that the European debt crisis in 2011 had an impact on Integrated circuit (IC) design companies and IC manufacturing companies, but that there was no influence on IC packaging and testing companies when measuring static efficiency. From the viewpoint of dynamic productivity performance, the paper finds that the main reason for the negative growth of IC packaging and testing companies and IC design companies came from a backward movement in technical change, but the main reason for the negative growth of IC manufacturing companies derived from a decline in pure technical efficiency.

“…DEA is a mathematical programming methodology, using a variety of input and output data that can be applied to assess the relative efficiency of a variety of institutions such as industrial firms, commercial banks, university, hospitals, etc. Recently the DEA approach has been used to analyze the competitiveness of industries and regions in a country or across countries (Chen et al, 2006). Several studies had used DEA to measure the efficiency of stock exchanges.…”

“…The phenomenon is very similar to the past industrial economies of Taiwan. Therefore, in recent years, many investigations have been conducted on the development of industrial clusters between Taiwan and China [9][10][11][12][13]. As Taiwan is recognized as one of the World's largest manufacturers of high-technology components and products, the successful practices of science parks in Taiwan are worthy of study.…”

High-technology industries provide opportunities for economic growth, but also raise concerns because of their energy-demanding nature. This paper provides an integrated evaluation of both economic benefits and energy efficiency of high-technology industries based on the real data from one of the globally recognized high-technology industrial clusters, the national science parks in Taiwan. A nation-wide industrial Input-Output Analysis is conducted to demonstrate the positive effects of science parks on national economic developments and industrial upgrades. The concept of energy intensity and an energy-efficient economy index are applied to an integrated assessment of the relationship between economic growth and energy consumption. The proposed case study suggests that economic and energy efficiency objectives can be simultaneously achieved by the development of high-technology industries, while three energy policy implications are considered. First, a nation-wide macro viewpoint is needed and high-technology industries should be considered as parts of the national/regional economies by governmental agencies. Second, a proper industrial clustering mechanism and the shared environmental facilities supported by the government, such as planned land and road usage, electricity and water supply, telecommunications system, sewerage system and wastewater treatments, can improve energy efficiency of high-technology industries. Third, the governmental policies on the taxing and management system in science parks would also direct energy-efficient economy of high-technology industries. OPEN ACCESSEnergies 2013, 6 974
