Abstract: According to the background of application to city innovation performance, a set of indices are established for evaluating innovation performance of key cities in China. The innovation process is divided into two individual stages——talent training and sci-tech creation. Two-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) models are proposed to assess and differentiate the overall and individual-stage innovation performance for 52 Chinese key cities. It is demonstrated that the Yangtze River Delta region and Pearl River Delta region have done an excellent job in city innovation, while quite a number of cities in central, southeast and northeast China still have a lot to improve in that aspect. The results provide important implications and suggestions for those cities to effectively enhance their innovative development.

Key words: data envelopment analysis (DEA), efficiency, two-stage, city innovation performance
