Abstract
Science and technology (s&t) are the driving forces of social and economic development. As major hubs for s&t research, higher education institutions (heis) have received much attention from the chinese government. However, heis in the central and western regions have not developed as well as those in the eastern region, impeding the overall balanced development of heis. Therefore, the government proposed the “revitalization plan” to support central and western heis and to improve their research efficiency. However, few studies have focused on this issue. To fill this gap, this study first intends to explore whether the “revitalization plan” improved the research efficiency of heis that received support from the policy during the study period by using the extended generalized data envelopment analysis (dea) method. This model can address the improvement from the input and output simultaneously. In addition to the efficiency evaluation among “revitalization plan” heis, this study employs the multi-hierarchy meta-frontier dea method to further investigate the efficiency gap between “revitalization plan” heis and other key heis.
