Bai, R., 2019. Analysis and comparison of input and output benefits of marine science and technology in coastal provinces of China. In: Li, L.; Wan, X.; and Huang, X. (eds.), Recent Developments in Practices and Research on Coastal Regions: Transportation, Environment and Economy. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 98, pp. 311–313. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.

Using the data envelopment analysis method, the input and output efficiency of marine science and technology were compared in five coastal provinces of China. Based on the analysis of the relationships among the number of marine scientific research institutions, the total income of marine scientific research institutions, the number of employees of marine scientific research institutions, the number of topics studied by marine scientific research institutions, the number of invention patents, and the publication of scientific and technological papers, the benefits of scientific and technological input and output are compared and analyzed.
