Abstract: Listed agriculture-related enterprises are one of the main bodies promoting agricultural scientific ad technology innovation, while improving its scientific and technological innovation efficiency is affected by multiple factors. Thus, this paper takes 46 listed agriculture-related enterprises in China from 2018 to 2020 as the research object, uses the DEA-Malmquist model to measure their total factor productivity of scientific and technological innovation, and then uses the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method to explore its main factor combination and the development path of their scientific and technological innovation efficiency. The result shows that, the overall scientific and technological innovation production efficiency of China’s listed agriculture-related enterprises appears a downward trend due to the influence of technological innovation and low level of application of new technologies. Based on the fsQCA results, 3 feasible development paths to improve the efficiency of scientific and technological innovation of China’s agriculture-related listed enterprises are proposed, separately from the 5 elements of talent, scale, operation, technology and management, and the corresponding development path can be selected according to the development of agriculture-related listed enterprises themselves, so as to achieve the ideal effect of improving the efficiency of scientific and technological innovation.

中国涉农上市企业科技创新效率及提升路径——基于DEA-Malmquist与fsQCA的实证分析



  涉农上市企业是推动农业科技创新主体之一,提升涉农企业科技创新效率受多因素共同影响,因此引入构型理证,以2018—2020年中国46家涉农上市企业为研究对象,采用DEA-Malmquist模型对其科技创新全要素生产率展开测度,进而采用模糊集定性比较分析(fsQCA)方法探究其科技创新效率的主要因素组合及发展路径。结果显示,受技术创新和新技术的运用水平不高等影响,中国涉农上市企业总体科技创新生产效率呈现下降趋势。基于fsQCA测度结果,提出了从人才、规模、经营、技术和管理这5个要素出发,根据涉农上市企业自身发展情况选择相对应的发展路径,以提升其科技创新效率的对策建议。
