Reviewing Statistical Methods in Innovation Activities: New and Old Lessons
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Innovation activities contribute essentially to the regional dimension of growth. Technological infrastructure and innovation capabilities affect not only regional growth, but also the economy as a whole. Research and Development (R&D) and technical change are both directly related to industrial infrastructure conditions, modernization process, productivity levels, and regional socioeconomic growth. In the last decades, new measures and indices have been introduced regarding R&D expenditure, innovation activities, patents etc., namely estimating innovation inputs and outputs. However, there are a lot of problems and questions regarding the measurement of innovation activities at regional level. This paper attempts to analyse the framework of innovation statistics, particularly examining the specific issues and perspectives regarding statistical methods applied in innovation activities estimation.
