Abstract:Analyze the efficiency differences in the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements supported by different dimensions of policy tools, in order to provide theoretical support for the government to adopt fiscal policy tools to promote the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements. Based on the theoretical perspective of policy tools, this paper conducts text content analysis on the fiscal policy provisions promulgated by the government to promote the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements from 2012 to 2022, and summarizes the frequency of use of different policy tools. On this basis, constructing a fiscal policy tool input-result transformation output index system, and using DEA model to evaluate the commercialization efficiency of scientific and technological achievements in 30 provinces of China. Furthermore, the impact of supply-oriented, environmental-oriented, and demand-oriented fiscal policies on the efficiency of scientific and technological achievement commercialization is analyzed. The results reveals an unbalanced layout structure of fiscal policy tools, with a tendency to emphasize supply-oriented tools, moderate environmental tools, and insufficient demand-oriented tools; Obvious differences exist in the efficiency of using different types of fiscal policy tools, the average efficiency of use of supply-based fiscal policy tools is the highest, while the average efficiency of use of demand-based fiscal policy tools is the lowest; There are significant differences in the efficiency of use of environmental and demand-based fiscal policy tools among provinces, of which developed provinces and regions are more suitable for indirect and guided policy tools. Finally, policy suggestions are put forward from four aspects, including optimizing the layout of fiscal policy tools, paying attention to the combination effect of fiscal policy tools, rationally selecting fiscal policy tools based on provincial conditions, and improving the use strategy of demand-side fiscal policy tools.
