Differences in Efficiency of Innovation Performance among Middle Income Countries: An Empirical Approach
The purpose of this paper is to determine empirically the differences in the efficiency of innovation performance in middle-income countries. To achieve this aim, it was used cluster analysis which is one of the multivariate statistical techniques. Ward’s agglomerative hierarchical method was employ...

description |
The purpose of this paper is to determine empirically the differences in the
efficiency of innovation performance in middle-income countries. To achieve
this aim, it was used cluster analysis which is one of the multivariate
statistical techniques. Ward’s agglomerative hierarchical method was employed
for cluster analysis. In determining efficiency of innovation performance, it
was followed process suggested by Kula and Ünlü (2019). So, cluster analysis
was performed separately for inputs and outputs indicators. Secondly,
discriminant analysis was used to identify factors that lead to differences in
the efficiency. According to the World Bank's income classification, it was
included a total of
54 countries, including 23 lower-middle
income and 31 upper-middle income. The data used in the analysis was obtained from Global Innovation Index. The
findings confirm the existence of the inefficiency problem in terms of innovation
performance in the middle income countries. |
