設立科學園區為多數國家用來發展高科技產業的重要政策，臺灣借鏡美國加州矽谷的成功經驗於1979年設立新竹科學園區。本研究欲探討設立科學園區多年後，園區內廠商績效及其研發強度是否顯著高於園區外的廠商。本文加入南部與中部科學園區之廠商進行探討，並利用傾向分數配對法改善樣本選擇偏誤的問題後，再就研發面、財務面及經濟面之績效進行較客觀的比較。結果表明：園區內廠商除了在勞動生產力的表現上大多顯著低於園區外之廠商，其餘績效指標皆優於園區外廠商。

The aim of this paper is to discuss the performance and R&D intensity of the firms between inside and outside the science parks. The analysis is conducted using data of the high-tech industry for the period 2000-2016, and we use the propensity score matching to construct the experiment. The results show that the firms tend to have higher R&D intensity and financial performance if they are located in the science parks.
