摘要：This paper assesses the relative efficiency of knowledge production in the OECD
using a nonparametric DEA approach. Resources allocated to R&D are limited
and should therefore be used efficiently given the institutional and legal
constraints. This paper presents efficiency scores based on an intertemporal
frontier estimation for the period 1995 to 2004 and analyzes the impact of the
regulatory environment using the single bootstrap procedure suggested by Simar
and Wilson (2007). The empirical evidence supports the hypothesis that barriers
to entry, aimed at reducing competition, lower research efficiency by
attenuating the incentive to innovate and to allocate resources efficiently.
