(2) Analysis on the 985Us and non-985Us

It can be known from Table4.21that, in 2006–2010, the redundant proportion

of T&R Staff or R&D Grants of DEA-inefficient 985Us is lower than that of

non-985Us. Thefive-year means of T&R Staff redundant proportions of 985Us and

non-985Us are−28.91 and−37.24% respectively, and thefive-year averages of

R&D Grants of both 985Us and non-985Us are−29.21 and−38.23% respectively.

And by Fig.4.11, we can observe that, in thesefive years, the redundant proportion

of T&R Staff of DEA-inefficient 985Us is on the slowly growing trend, while that

of DEA-inefficient non-985Us is on the slowly declining trend. Also in thesefive

years, the redundant proportion of R&D Grants of DEA-inefficient 985Us isfluc-

tuant, and that of non-985Us is on the slowly growing trend.
