Abstract :
This paper examines the technical efficiency of innovation systems. Based upon the European Innovation Scoreboard, the efficiency of investment in innovation is examined with the use of DEA model. It is observed that the so called laggards in innovation are often efficient in their use of resources, whereas leaders of innovation fall short in the area of returns to scale and congestion.
