Regional Innovation Indicators PAXIS EC Model (since 1999) Geographic area Total population Number of cities with inhabitants or more Total active population Gross Domestic Product (GDP) GDP per capita active population GDP per capita ratio area/national Gross fixed capital formation Labour productivity Gross Domestic Expenditure on R&D (GERD) GERD ratio area/national Business Enterprise Expenditure on R&D Total R&D personnel/1.000 active workers Business Enterprise R&D personnel Government R&D personnel Higher Education R&D personnel Total # of Scientist and Engineers/1000 economically active Number of scientific publications Workers in most R&D intensive industry sectors Number of EPO patents Number of EPO patents per million of active workers EPO patents ratio area/national Infrastructures (higher education centres, R&D institutes, science parks, incubators, etc) Legal/administrative measures (education, training for labour workers, entrepreneurship, mobility for researchers, etc) Regional/local financing (public provision of VC, private VC firms, etc Demonstrable results (innovative SME recently created, etc) Other relevant elements and measures

Regional Innovation Indicators RI Scoreboard (EC Model) Global “benchmarking" tool Used to compare EC countries/regions Encuesta Nacional de Innovación (National Innovation Survey –National Model) Local “benchmarking" instrument Used to analyse Spanish regions  Limited, yet powerful, experience 2 studies reported 4-year span

Regional Innovation Indicators madri+d Model Science and Technology (ST) Indicators  Scientific Production Indicators Analyse and pursue ST production of CM R&D statistics (February 2001)  Regional Innovation System Indicators  Intellectual Capital Programme Accounts of industrial sector (March 2001) Technological capital stock estimation (March 2001) Measure IC in universities, RTO, etc

Regional Innovation Indicators All Models Difficulties in defining/filling out “good” indicators  Mainly related to NTBF Economic impact Survival rate (after 3, 4, 5, n-years)  More than firms Chamber of Commerce  Inaccurate data for practical purposes  More than 95% have less than 2 employees

Regional Innovation Indicators Regional Indicator Activities Horizontal Basis  IE of CM (“Institute of Statistics”)  INE (“National Institute of Statistics”) Full link & exploitation of INE results Direct data source access Under specific agreement w/ INE Aggregate versus disaggregate data

Regional Innovation Indicators Vertical Basis  Many different city councils (179) Not always “linked” to statistics of CM  Entrepreneurial profiles in ≠ universities  Environmental needs in 5 ≠ industrial parks FMM (“Federation of City Councils of Madrid”)  Areas susceptible to investment Regional Indicator Activities

Regional Innovation Indicators Regional Indicator Activities Tailored EFQM Instrument  Periodic survey of entrepreneurial activities Many others  Supported by public & private organisations Risk capital reports (AFM- Financial Agency of Madrid) Business Structure & Activities of Madrid (Regional Employment and Economy Ministry -REEM) The Economy of Madrid I/O Model (‘96, 2000 /REEM) Innovation “Green Book” (2003, COTEC)

Regional Innovation Indicators Main Disadvantages w/ Innovation Indicators Time Scope Availability of R&D results  2 years after project completion  Economic impact can not be easily observed Compilation Methodology/Source/Accuracy  How, where, what, when...

Regional Innovation Indicators How to Cope with Disadvantages  Common tools Enlarged EU dimension EU Innovation Scoreboard Regional Innovation Scoreboard  Adequate to a more global framework Taking into account EUROSTAT Looking at OECD stats Keeping an eye on UN stats Future development Keep a historical series going  Continuity in actions (EU/National/Regional)
