Regional Innovation Systems: How to Assess Performance

Jon Mikel Zabala‐Iturriagagoitia, Peter Voigt, Antonio Gutiérrez‐Gracia, Fernando Jiménez‐Sáez · 2007 · Regional Studies

Summary. This paper uses Data Envelopment Analysis to evaluate regional innovation system performance across European regions using 2002-2003 data. High-technology regions rank differently under DEA than traditional scorecards, revealing that advanced regions need stronger system coordination to maintain efficiency. The authors propose combining quantitative and qualitative analysis to improve policy decisions for regional innovation systems.
