Abstract

With the rapid development of the society, scientific and technological innovation has become a hot topic. This paper firstly constructs an evaluation index system for Guangzhou’s scientific and technological innovation ability. As we know that the traditional DEA model only pays attention to its own superiority index, ignoring the problem that there are too many effective units, which lead to the inability to give accurate ranking results of effective decision-making units. In order to overcome the limitations of the DEA model, this paper uses three types of cross-efficiency DEA models, including the friendly, confrontational and neutral type, to obtain the efficiency values and precise ranking of each decision-making unit. The results show that the three methods have differences, but they all passed the Kendall’s W test. In addition, this paper uses the vertical analysis to classify the scientific and technological innovation ability of each district of Guangzhou.
