Abstract

The super efficiency DEA model and panel Tobit model were used in this study to conduct empirical research on innovation performance and its influencing factors in expansive companies based on patent and annual report data for A-shares, dilated listed companies in China from 2009 to 2015. Our results suggest that innovation performance in Chinese listed companies is generally stagnating at a low level, but scores for computer, communications equipment, electrical machinery, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries are high. There are significant differences in innovation performance between internal and external expansion companies. The internal expansion scale shows a significant negative correlation with innovation performance, while there is a “U” shaped nonlinear relationship between external expansion and innovation performance; the turning point appears when the external expansion scale is 0.2, that is, it is significantly negative to innovation performance below 0.2 (and vice versa). Firm age, firm size, executive pay, average age of executives, and depreciation have a negative impact on innovation performance, while equity concentration, capital intensity, and financial leverage have a positive impact on innovation performance.
