We utilize the input oriented constant (CRS) and variable (VRS) returns to scale data efficiency analysis models to evaluate the efficiency of firms. Scale efficiency and the respective types of returns to scale have been examined by using DEA models with ratio inputs and outputs. We pay attention to the global frontier and the firm's own sector and size frontiers. We highlight the sources of inefficiency and suggestions are proposed to improve efficiencies of R&D resources allocation. The analysis is based on a representative set of (quasi-) permanent R&D active firms in Belgium. We consider R&D related inputs in the year 2009 and include firm performance in terms of turnover and net added value per employee in a four year time span. The paper highlights that on average, R&D active firms suffer from both technical inefficiency and scale size problems since the average of the CRS and the VRS efficiency are low, and also the average of scale efficiency is modest. According to firm size, small-sized firms suffer from scale and technical inefficiency. Medium-sized firms endure scale inefficiency rather than technical inefficiency. Large firms present a higher average scale efficiency and technical efficiency. According to sector of activity, firms in specialized supplier industries tend to outperform other firms in terms of average scale efficiency and average technical efficiency. Firms in science based industries are found to underperform on average in terms of VRS and scale efficiency.Item Metadata only Robust performance evaluation of Belgian R&D firms with missing data(2016-07-03) Khoshnevis, Pegah; Teirlinck, Peter; Hatami-Marbini, A.Item Open Access SME efficiency in transforming regional business research and innovation investments into innovative sales output(Taylor and Francis, 2022-04-04) Teirlinck, Peter; Khoshnevis, PegahBased on data provided by the Regional Innovation Scoreboard on 23 capital and 184 non-capital regions in Europe, slacks-based models of data envelopment analysis (DEA) reveal that the efficiency by which business research and innovation inputs are converted at regional-level aggregated innovative sales output in small and medium-sized enterprises was significantly lower in capital regions in the period 2006–14. In view of efficiency maximization, a majority of the capital regions overinvest in non-research and development innovation activities, are over-specialized in knowledge-intensive industries, and fall behind in converting research and innovation inputs in intermediary intellectual property outcomes.Item Open Access Within-cluster proximity and output efficiency of R&D in the space industry(Elsevier, 2019-02-26) Teirlinck, Peter; Khoshnevis, P.Dynamic slacks-based data envelopment analysis is applied to measure output performance efficiency of space R&D active private firms. Fractional logit panel analysis is used to identify associations between this firm level R&D output efficiency and space industry level R&D specialisation, presence of anchor firms, and public R&D capacity within geographical clusters. Primary data collected for the entire population of space R&D active firms in Belgium for the period 2011–2015 reveals that an environment specialized in the focus firm's space activities exerts a positive influence on R&D output efficiency. The public space R&D capacity and the presence of space anchor firms within the cluster do not influence R&D output efficiency. Firm age, a mixture of space and non-space R&D, and larger amounts of public funding positively affect R&D output efficiency. These findings should be seen in a context of a space industry dominated by SMEs and in a five year time-span.
