Abstract:Abstract: From the perspective of the input and output of independent innovation,the paper has evaluated statically the efficiency of independent innovation of TCM industry in Anhui province with the DEA model,which shows that the comprehensive efficiency of independent innovation is 0.774 in Anhui province,while the technical efficiency is 0.921,the scale efficiency is 0.820.Hence,technical efficiency relatively prominent and scale efficiency is relatively low in Anhui province,and there exist obvious differences between some regions.And these are closely related to the characteristics of independent innovation and the scale characteristics of TCM industry in Anhui province.Therefore,we must enhance the efficiency of independent innovation by increasing the input of independent innovation, optimizing the allocation of the innovation elements, improving the environment of the innovation, integrating resources of independent innovation.
