Multidimensional Analysis of Technological Innovation Efficiency in New Energy Vehicles: Industrial Chain Heterogeneity and Key Drivers by Yawei Xue, Yuchen Lu, Zhongshuai Wang

“…Expanding beyond traditional overall assessments, we examine efficiency at different stages of the industry chain and find that: (a) overall technological innovation efficiency has declined, mainly due to weak pure technical efficiency, underscoring the need for better R&D management and resource allocation; (b) efficiency varies across the industry chain, with midstream firms performing better than those upstream and downstream, reflecting differences in technological accumulation and market conditions; (c) R&D tax deductions and market competition significantly boost innovation efficiency by creating pressure-driven incentives, while mismatched labor skills, the “welfare dependence” effect of tax incentives and financing constraints hinder progress. …”
