Abstract:

For scientific research institutes, the process from inputs to outputs of S&T resource is phased obviously. Meanwhile, there exists a lag difference among various outputs from each phase. In view of this, a research scheme is designed in this paper firstly. The principle, process and result of variable selection is determined. Also, an analysis method as well as a processing method on multi-phases time-lag effect are proposed to calculate the time lags of various outputs from each phase and revise the values of each output, respectively. Then, an empirical study on Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and its 30 typical institutes is conducted using statistical data from 1992 to 2014. Furthermore, the differences on multi-phases time-lag effect of these institutes are classified and compared using the measurement result of CAS as a benchmark. The results show that about 63.33% institutes have a high efficiency, 6.67% ones have a low efficiency, and 30% ones are unbalanced. Finally, several improvement suggestions are presented according to a cause analysis. This study can provide a valuable decision reference for scientific research institutes to clarify the rules of S&T innovation and ensure the high efficient allocation of S&T resource.
