Analysis of R&D Efficiency Change in IT Sector using Cumulative Malmquist Index
Son, Hosung
Abstract
This study analyzes the changes in the efficiency of Korean R&D projects in the IT sector from 2010 to 2018. The data envelopment analysis (DEA) and Cumulative Malmquist index were used to measure the change in R&D efficiency. The results were as follows. First, the Korean IT sector has developed around hardware, applied research, development research, and private enterprises rather than software, basic research, universities, and public research institutes. Second, short-term efficiency improvement is possible in the government's R&D projects in which large-scale investments are executed. Third, in Korea, it is more urgent to improve efficiency in the public sector than in the private sector. The results provide insights into policy implications required to enhance national competitiveness in the era of the 4th industrial revolution and digital transformation.
