Measuring Innovation Performance in Developing Countries Reinhilde Veugelers KULeuven, EC (BEPA) & CEPR

Optimal R&D intensity to maximize output? From an extended Cobb-Douglas production function, the optimal R&D/GDP ratio depends on  Purchase price of R&D  R&D elasticity of output  Risk-free interest rate  Rate of R&D depreciation

Actual R&D to GDP ratio: Wide variation in levels across countries, even in EU Variation in growth rates across countries, even in EU No clear sign of convergence, even in EU ??? Common target of 3% ???

Zooming in on the country differences in R&D/GDP Variation in R&D elasticity of output The sectoral dimension: high-tech sectors (ICT..)with higher returns (higher opportunity, measurement issues)

EU-US Gap in R&D Spending EU-US Gap in Specialization (VA) EU-US Gap in Productivity Growth Rates Total High Technology Manufacturing (ICT) (Non-ICT) Source : ECFIN, Annual Review 2004 Comparison of EU-US difference in R&D spending and Productivity Growth (US=1)

Linking R&D intensity and Productivity Growth Divergence bt countries in productivity growth can be related to  Higher R&D intensity in most sectors  Larger weight of R&D intensive sectors  Better growth performance in R&D sectors Country divergence in R&D/innovation output

Beyond R&D: Innovation: Creation and diffusion (European Innovation Scoreboard Indicators) 1.

Differences in Country Dispersion between R&D and Innovation

Country heterogeneity in growth: catching up?

The policy perspective: How to improve innovative capacity? creation and diffusion Beyond stimulating R&D investments Improving Technology Transfer/Diffusion ( Eg ISL mechanisms, absorptive capacity of users, investment in complementary assets) Networking Among Actors on a Global Scale: research, firms, finance, policy makers,… Framework conditions, especially  clear IPR regimes and standards;  flexibility in product markets (easy of entry), labour markets (labour mobility),venture capital markets This requires a Systemic Policy Approach

To feed systemic policy approach: A call on theory, data, econometrics: The right variables at the right level? What are the driving forces for innovative capacity? Do we have data on this  Esp diffusion capacity variables Which country ideosyncracies matter to explain differences in  Levels of driving forces  Effects of driving forces Sectoral composition Time dimension (eg initial levels, catching up Firm composition Institutional setting… Policy environment Systems approach: interactions
