【 摘 要 】

By method of standard deviation ellipse(SDE), this paper analyzes and visualizes the spatial evolutionary pattern of EU's regional innovation activity from 1995 to 2013 compared with economic development. Then Based on EU members' panel data, using the logarithmic Cobb-Douglas production function model of stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) to estimate the regional innovation efficiency of EU members and its trend. The results show that (1) the spatial center of the EU's innovation SDE is moving eastward. The role of agglomeration effect generated by Western and the Nordic Euro region is weakened while the impact of Eastern Euro is enhancing;(2) from 2002 to 2012, the whole average regional innovation efficiency of eu members decline. (3) the both R&D inputs plays positive role in regional innovation efficiency and the role R&D investment fund is dominant.
