Abstract :
Based on panel data collected for seven years (2003-2009) of 30 provinces, the efficiency of knowledge sharing in regional innovation in China was evaluated by DEA Malmquist indexes model. The result indicated that knowledge sharing efficiency of six regions was improved respectively. As the same time, technical efficiency of knowledge sharing process in West China grew fast because of the advantage of backwardness so that it can acquire and absorb knowledge more quickly. As being lack of satisfactory performance in the technical efficiency, cross-organization excitation mechanism that support cross-sector collaboration and knowledge transfer between institutions and locally industries were more or less unsatisfactory.
