“…The EU integrates a fairly homogeneous set of countries in terms of innovative opportunities; therefore, many studies have been conducted on the analysis of European innovation systems [26][27][28][29][30]. The fact that there is an established data collection (European Innovation Scoreboard) used by the European Commission also plays a significant role here.…”

The Efficiency of National Innovation Systems in Post-Soviet Countries: DEA-Based Approach

The efficiency of the national innovation system (NIS) is widely considered to be the most important factor of innovation-based economic growth. Using the wide spectrum of different metrics for measuring the efficiency of NIS, modern studies focus mainly on high-income or upper-middle-income countries, while the effectiveness of the NIS in post-Soviet countries has not been studied enough. The post-socialist transformation has led to different models of economic development in these countries, which can be divided into three groups: a group with developed European institutions, a group with a focus on the European path of development, and, finally, a group of countries with an economic model of “state capitalism”. These models formed the trajectory of innovative development. The main purpose of this study is to compare the performance of NIS in post-Soviet countries and to find out whether differences between development institutions can help explain differences in the performance of NIS. The study applies the DEA methodology and considers NISs as homogeneous economic agents, which transform the same types of inputs (knowledge gained using human and financial resources) into the same types of positive outcomes (innovative products and services). The results of a study conducted on data for the period 2011–2018 show that there is no evidence to support the hypothesis that EU institutions or the type of economic model of the country directly relate to the effectiveness of the NIS. The example of Kazakhstan shows that NIS can be effective, even with strong state intervention in the economy. Taken together, the results of the paper suggest that the structure of R&D expenditures by sources of funding and types of research plays an important role in the formation of effective NIS.

“…Developing countries are generating a high focus on this topic and are trying to establish mutual innovation policies and measures, to increase their innovation capacities and 10.18531/Studia.Mundi.2022.09.03. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] balance their innovation inputs and outputs (see Johnson Cornell University, INSEAD, WIPO, 2015) as they find room to enrich their growth capacities. Although the EU is quite aware of it, knowing how diverse it is, not every member state country has equal innovation capacities and performance levels.…”

RIS indicators can be grouped into three main categories: indicators that ensure conditions for the innovations to be created (e.g., human and financial resources), business activities (e.g., business innovators, innovation assets), and outputs (employment in the innovation sector, export of innovative products).…”

The world cannot be imagined without innovation progress therefore its measurement and evaluation are highly important. The aim of the paper is to present the importance of innovation progress in the framework of the EU and present the innovation capacities between Hungary and Serbia in the time frame of one decade based on defined innovation inputs distributed through selected outputs. The paper presents the main innovation scoreboard indicators of Serbia and Hungary in the period between 2011 and 2020 presented as descriptive data and at the end wrapped in Data Envelopment analysis with the help of the Malmquist index. In total eight indicators describing human capital, innovation assets, and business research activities were considered for the analysis. In conclusion, Hungary performed better compared to Serbia, and during the examined period neither of the country faced significant falls but as well the progress is quite static and slow.

“…The presented challenges require new solutions from societies that arise in national (NIS), regional (RIS) (Łącka, Brzezicki, 2021), and local innovation systems (LIS). The efficiency and productivity of these systems determine the possibility of overcoming challenges, reducing barriers, and taking advantage of development opportunities in the modern economy.…”

“…The efficiency and productivity of these systems determine the possibility of overcoming challenges, reducing barriers, and taking advantage of development opportunities in the modern economy. Poland, for several years, has been trying to make changes in the functioning of its national innovation system (Łącka, Brzezicki, 2021) and its components within the higher education sector (Łącka, Brzezicki, 2020). The goal is to increase the role of universities in the technology transfer process between science, industry and society within the so-called third (Compagnucci, Spigarelli, 2020) and even fourth mission of the university (Lucovics, Zuti, 2015).…”

The objective of the article is to measure and evaluate the efficiency of scientific activity and technology transfer to the economy by public higher education institutions (HEIs) in Poland and to formulate recommendations for state policy to increase the effectiveness of the technology transfer process by them. The study measured scientific activity and technology transfer separately in two groups of higher education institutions (i.e., universities and technical universities). Two non-radial models, SBM and BP-SBM, which belong to the non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, were used for the study.All examined higher education institutions are more efficient in basic research than in transferring technology to the economy. However, technical universities are more efficient in technology transfer and universities in basic research. In most cases, technical universities are more accomplished in scientific activity than universities in technology transfer. Research shows that universities have been almost entirely focused on basic research, and technical universities have engaged in basic research and technology transfer to the economy in various ways. The research results confirmed the existence of very weak links between science and business in terms of knowledge and technology transfer to the economy. This is due to many factors. The authors presented recommendations for necessary actions that will enable the increase of technology transfer by public universities in Poland.An interesting direction of future research is the measurement and evaluation of the effectiveness of technology transfer of the second group of NIS entities in Poland, i.e. research institutes.
