TRANSCRIPT
MEASURING INNOVATION: A NEW PERSPECTIVE
Alessandra Colecchia, OECD, DSTI, Economic Analysis and Statistics
Measuring innovation:What’s new?
• New ways of looking at traditional indicators
• New experimental indicators that provide insight into new areas of policy interest
• Measurement gaps and challenges
• A forward-looking measurement agenda
– Extensive use of innovation surveys micro-data
– Extensive use of administrative data (budget, taxation)
– Experimental data linking (bibliometrics, patents, company data)
New ways of using data and first time indicators reveal what’s new

NEW PLAYERS ARE EMERGING AND COLLABORATION IS INTENSIFYING
SIZE OF BUBBLE = Number of scientific publications
THICKNESS OF LINK = Number of co-authorship
MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH IS EMERGING TO ADDRESS GLOBAL CHALLENGES
Science for “green” innovation
•Source: OECD (2010), Measuring Innovation: A New Perspective, based on Scopus Custom Data, Elsevier, July 2009; OECD, Patent Database, January 2010; and EPO, Worldwide Patent Statistical Database, September 2009. The list of environmental patent applications has been generated through a search algorithm developed by the OECD and EPO (European Patent Office)
Green technologies (patents) draw on a broad base of scientific knowledge
NEW INDICATOR: matching environmental patents and scientific publications using co-citation analysis
MARKETS FOR KNOWLEDGE ARE EMERGING
Countries are performing both technological and non-R&D based innovation.
Source: OECD (2010), Measuring Innovation: A New Perspective, Paris, based on OECD, Patent Database, USPTO, OHIM, JPO and WIPO.
Catching up countries have lower propensity to innovate or lower propensity to seek protection for their innovations
INNOVATION AS A CATALYST FOR NEW SOURCES OF GROWTH
Contributions to labour productivity growth, 1995-2006, in %
Source: OECD (2010), Measuring Innovation: A New Perspective, Paris.
Innovation explains a good portion of labour productivity growth.
Investment in fixed and intangible assets as a share of GDP, 2006
Source: OECD (2010), Measuring Innovation: A New Perspective, OECD, Paris, based on COINVEST and research papers, 2009.
INVESTING IN INNOVATION = INVESTING IN A BROAD RANGE OF COMPLEMENTARY ASSETS
Investing in innovation goes beyond R&D. Investment in intangible assets is rising and taking over investment in physical capital (machinery and equipment).
“New to market” product innovators with and without R&D, 2004-06 As a percentage of innovators
Source: OECD (2010), Measuring Innovation: A New Perspective, OECD, Paris based on OECD Innovation microdata project.
INNOVATION BEYOND R&D
NEW INDICATORS reveal that in Australia and Norway the propensity to introduce a new product is similar whether or not the firm performs R&D.
COLLABORATION INVOLVES ALL TYPES OF FIRMS
Collaboration on innovation, 2004-06As a percentage of innovative firms by R&D status
Source: OECD (2010), Measuring Innovation: A New Perspective , OECD, Paris based on OECD Innovation microdata project.
NEW INDICATORS reveal that collaboration is used in innovation whether firms perform a lot of R&D, a little R&D or no R&D at all. Policies that stimulate collaboration and network initiatives will have an impact on the entire spectrum of innovative firms.

Patenting activity of young ( <5 years) firms, 2005-07PCT patent filings by young firms as a percentage of filings by firms in each country
Note : Data refers to patent applications filed under the Patent Co-operation Treaty (PCT) with a priority in 2005-07. Patent counts are based on the country of residence of the applicants. The share of young firms is derived from the set of patent applicants successfully matched with business register data.

YOUNG FIRMS AT THE HEART OF INNOVATION
WHAT CAN GOVERNMENTS DO TO UNLEASH
INNOVATION?
EDUCATE PEOPLE TO SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FROM A YOUNG AGE
Source: OECD (2010), Measuring Innovation: A New Perspective, Paris.
Length of time students have been using a computer and mean PISA science score, 2006
15-year-olds having used computers for less than one year achieve a “level 2” PISA science score
BUT 15-year-olds having used computers for more than 5 years raise their PISA science score to “level 3” or even “level 4” in the case of Finland and Japan
BUILD THE STOCK OF RESEARCHERS

New graduates at doctorate level by country of graduation, % of OECD new total doctorate holders, 2007
Percentage of the population 18 to 64 years old who received any type of training in starting a business, during or after school, 2008
TRAIN PEOPLE TO BECOME ENTERPRENEURS
Source: Bosma et al. (2009), Global Entrepreneurship Monitor: 2008 Executive Report.
Entrepreneurship education is critical for raising awareness about starting and growing a business and providing the skills, attitudes and behaviours to do so.
LOWER BARRIERS TO ENTERPRENEURSHIPBarriers to entrepreneurship, 2008Scale from 0 to 6 from least to most restrictive
A high quality regulatory framework is important to allow businesses to enter the market and grow. Product Market Regulation Indicators are quantitative indicators derived form qualitative information on laws and regulations that may affect competition.
Source: OECD (2010), Measuring Innovation: A New Perspective, Paris, based on OECD Product Market Regulation Database.
BALANCE TAX INSTRUMENTS NOT TO DISCOURAGE ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Individuals’ decisions to start a business are affected by taxes and tax policy.
Source: OECD (2010), Taxing Wages 2008-2009: 2009 Edition, Paris.
Taxation on personal income and corporate income, 2009
Government is 2nd larger funder of R&D in most countries..•EU27: 35% from government
Most R&D statistics come from the performers (GERD matrix)•Ask performers how much spending and who funded research
There is another source of information (GBAORD)• Ask governments more policy-oriented questions:
•to whom (as above); why (socio-economic objectives)
Still, GBAORD database under-used: OECD-NESTI launched a pilot study(Jan van Steen (NL) and Benedetto Lepori (U. Université della Svizzera italiana, Switzerland) as team leaders.•Get information by mode of funding (how); by type of agency (by whom), by tool (for what), and over time…•National experts to analyse administrative documents to exploit better GBAORD data
DIRECT FUNDING of R&D
