National Innovation Indicators And Policy

Innovation targets, now set in many countries, are raising expectations that innovation policies can help to achieve the targets and to improve quality of life. Economic theory, statistical measurement, and the need to achieve targets are combining to shift the policy focus towards the outcomes and the economic and social impacts of innovation. This is forcing economists and statisticians to look for new measures, indicators, and analytical frameworks to support the public policy debate and the implementations of change necessary for success. This book both examines and contributes to this process.Earl is the author of 'National Innovation Indicators And Policy ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781845422875 and ISBN 1845422872.
