| description | This paper presents an evaluation of the efficient use of public research and
development (R&D) expenditure in the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian
Nations) region by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The efficiency of
public R&D expenditure is measured as a percentage of GDP, by considering it
as an input to knowledge generation. Two knowledge outputs are considered,
namely real GDP growth and high-tech goods export as a percentage of total
manufacturing exports. All data are collected from World Development
Indicators (2010), World Competitiveness Yearbook (2011) and ASEAN
publications. The efficiency results are prepared following both constant returns
to scale (CRS) and variable returns to scale (VRS) assumptions. The efficiency
scores under CRS suggest that the Philippines and Indonesia were the best
performers in 2010 while under VRS, Singapore and Thailand were the most
efficient countries in 2010. Special emphasis is placed on how to present the
DEA results to government and policy makers in order to provide more policy
guidance on how to achieve optimum knowledge output relative to R&D
expenditure. |
