I. Micro-based evidence research on innovation and technological change
This research theme relies mostly on micro data to analyse the determinants and the effects of innovation and technological change in both industrial and developing countries. Model-based analysis, measurement, monitoring, and policy considerations are the key drivers of this workgroup. The research effort will be organized around five topics: a deeper understanding of the drivers and the dynamics of innovation and international comparisons of innovation performance and its effect on growth, employment and inequality; the collection of data and development of indicators to measure science, technology and innovation; new insights into the issue of intellectual property rights and proposals for reform; detailed studies on particular industries, technologies, and regions of the world; assessment of human capital capacities in developing countries. The outputs of these studies are expected to contribute to the work of institutions such as the OECD, World Bank, and a variety of economic think tanks around the world
On going work under this theme can be summarized under the following list of essential keywords:
- science, technology and innovation indicators;
- economic analysis of innovation surveys;
- econometrics of patents, and other bibliometric analyses;
- origin, source and determinants of innovation and entrepreneurship;
- international comparative studies;
- entry and exit of companies.
