摘要

This study investigates how different configurations of national innovative capabilities contribute to achieving the highest EU R&I investment efficiency within the context of innovation performance. Using data from 27 EU member states during the period 2015–2019, the paper employs both Crisp Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (csQCA) and Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA). The findings reveal substantial cross-country heterogeneity and identifies 30 configurational paths for patent-related efficiency, 21 paths for trademark-related efficiency, and 52 paths for design-related efficiency in the csQCA analysis. The results show that Denmark, Sweden, and Finland have similar configurational paths, demonstrating stability and efficient use of EU R&I funds over time for the development of patents. In the case of trademarks, the path is efficient and identical for several years in four CEE countries: Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Bulgaria. The analysis further suggests that systemic differences between countries in terms of development, national backgrounds, and the ability to utilize internal assets in the most competent way play a crucial role in maximizing the positive effects of EU R&I policies.
