Measuring and comparing the R&D performance of government research institutes: A bottom-up data envelopment analysis approach

作者：

Highlights：

• This paper measures the R&D performance of government research institutes (GRIs).

• The bottom-up approach based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) is proposed.

• DEA is run to measure R&D efficiency of projects carried out by GRIs.

• Nonparametric statistical tests are run to compare the R&D performance of GRIs.

• The bottom-up DEA approach is applied to the 10 Korean GRIs for applied research.
