Abstract: Based on the R&D activity data of 24 undergraduate universities in Shanghai from 2018 to 2019, this paper uses the DEA method to analyze the input-output efficiency of R&D activities, and analyzes its non-DEA-effectiveness based on the input redundancy rate and output shortage rate, finally uses the DEA grading effective evaluation method to further compare the resource utilization rate of R&D activities of various universities. The results show that the overall level of input-output efficiency of R&D activities in these 24 universities is not high, and the return to scale shows a decreasing trend; the under-output of non-DEA-effective universities is mainly reflected in the actual income of the year obtained from technology transfer, and the redundancy of inputs is mainly reflected in the full-time equivalent of R&D personnel.

Key words: R&, D, input-output efficiency, DEA, universities
