DEA-inefficient eastern 211Us is on the slowly growing trend, and that of the
central 211Usfirst decreases then increases slightly, and that of the western 211Us
isfluctuant and on the downtrend. Inside eastern 211Us, the redundant proportion
of JUs is on the slowly growing trend, and that of HSZUsfirst increases and
decreases, and that of OUs is in the substantial uptrend.
It can be known from Table4.23that, in 2007–2010, the redundant proportion
of R&D Grants of DEA-inefficient western 211Us is lower than that of the
DEA-inefficient eastern or central 211Us. Thefive-year averages of redundant
proportions of R&D Grants of DEA-inefficient eastern, central and western 211Us
are−35.47,−37.29 and−32.20% respectively. Inside eastern 211Us, in 2007–
2010, the redundant proportion of R&D Grants of DEA-inefficient JUs is much
higher than that of HSZUs or OUs. and the means for JUs, HSZU, and OUs are
−38.14,−33.76, and−33.88% respectively. And from Fig.4.13, we can observe
that the redundant proportion of R&D Grants of DEA-inefficient eastern 211Usfirst
increases then decreases, and that of the central 211Usfirst decreases then increases
slightly, and that of the western 211Usfirst decreases largely then increase slightly.
Inside eastern 211Us, that of JUs is in the high uptrend, and that of HSZUsfirst
increases and decreases, and that of OUsfirst decreases then levels off.
