The measurement of scientific, technological, and innovative
activities (STI) in the economy is an increasing challenge faced by
statistical agencies around the world. Measuring Science,
Technology, and Innovation: A Review surveys the current state of
the art including the concept of indicators, their quality and use,
and a schematic model of the STI system that can identify gaps in
the set of indicators commonly in use. The authors review the
developments in STI measurement that have taken place in the rest
of the world, particularly the widespread use of innovation
surveys. The monograph concludes with a discussion of the
measurement gaps and issues in the U.S., which we identify as
innovation (especially in the service sector), non-R&D
investment related to innovation, data timeliness, data linkages,
measurement related to public policy goals, and the sources of
capital for innovation. After an introduction, Section 2 summarizes
the framework for analysis of the STI system that is most widely
used by economists. Section 3 considers how the specific data
currently collected by the U.S. government, and indicators
constructed from those data, relate to the important concepts
within the framework. Section 4 expands this discussion by
reviewing data collected and indicators published by other
countries and international organizations. Section 5 then turns to
the issues of policy, and draws explicit connections between
important policy questions and indicators, using the framework of
Section 2. Section 6 builds on these discussions to highlight gaps
and issues with the existing indicators, and Section 7 provides
concluding comments.
