Abstract：Using a two-stage DEA model and meta-frontier theory,this study measures the transformation efficiency of “education investment-human capital accumulation” , “human capital accumulation-technological innovation” and the overall innovation efficiency of 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities)in China from 2011 to 2021.It also explores the real source of the efficiency loss in the two stages.The findings reveal as follows.①Under the metafrontier,the efficiency values of each stage did not exceed those under the group frontier,and the two-stage transformation efficiencies in the eastern region were significantly higher than those in the central and western regions.②The technology gap ratio between the two-stage in the eastern region is the best,followed by the western region,and finally the central region.③Efficiency losses of two-stage transformation in the eastern region were mainly attributable to managerial inefficiencies,while in the central and western regions,a larger proportion of losses stemmed from gaps in exogenous technology.In addition,this study further finds that there are certain differences in the two-stage transformation efficiency of different industrial clusters,employment structures,levels of technological talent mobility,and urban agglomerations.
