| KRATKA VSEBINA | Izhajajoč iz preučevanja učinkovitosti vlaganjv R & R, preverjamo v prispevku dosedanje ugotovitve, da sodi Slovenija medmanj učinkovite države članice EU, saj s povprečno višino vlaganj v R & R dosega podpovprečno učinkovitost. Države z učinkovitimi vlaganji v R & R, boljšo institucionalno podporo za raziskave in razvoj ter inovacijsko dejavnost (npr. sistemi za zaščito intelektualne lastnine, človeški viri napodročju naravoslovja in tehnike, relativna specializacija v visoko tehnoloških panogah, usklajenost politik in ukrepov na različnih področjih)potrjujejo koristnost pospešenih vlaganj v raziskave in razvoj, kar se na dolgi rok kaže v višji gospodarski rasti in višji produktivnosti. Analiza DEA podaja izračune relativne učinkovitosti za posamezne parametre vlaganj v R & R primerjalno za vsako državo ter okvirne predloge za izboljšave (bodisi znižanje vložkov za dosego enakega neposrednega učinka ali, obratno, kakšen bi moral biti ob danih vložkih neposredni učinek, da je država učinkovita). Povzemamo trenutno stanje v Sloveniji na področju kazalnikov, povezanih z R & R, ter izsledke o učinkovitosti vlaganj v R & Rv Sloveniji potrjujemo tudi z uporabo neparametrične metode. Rezultati analize kažejo, da je Slovenija relativno zelo neučinkovita z vidika vlaganj v R & R, inovacije in tehnologijo (izračuni 30-60 % relativne učinkovitosti). // This contribution examines previous findings that Slovenia belongs among the less effective EU member states based on an examination of the efficiency of R&D spending. Using the average amount of R&D spending (in % GDP), Slovenia falls below average performance. In countries with efficient R&D spending, better institutional support for research and development and innovation activities (e.g., for the degree ofprotection of intellectual property, human resources [employment share] in natural sciences and engineering, relative high-specialization of the economy, coordination of policies and measures in the various fields) confirmed the usefulness of accelerated R&D spending, which in the long runhas been shown in the higher economic growth and higher productivity. DEA analysis calculated the relative efficiency for each of the parameters of the R&D spending for each country as well as the indicative proposals for improvements (either the reduction of inputs in order to achieve the same direct effect [or output] or vice versa, given the contributions of what should be the direct effect [output] that the country is to be effective). The current situation in Slovenia in the field of indicators related to theR&D is summarized. Using the nonparametric method, we reaffirm the conclusions on the efficiency of R&D spending in Slovenia. The results of the analysis indicate that Slovenia is relatively very inefficient in termsof R&D spending, innovation, and technology (the calculations of relative efficiency range from 30% to 60%). |
