Long abstract
OECD Innovation Microdata Project
The OECD Innovation Microdata project is the first large-scale attempt at exploiting firm-level data from innovation surveys for economic analysis in a harmonised way. Topics covered include innovation and productivity, international tech transfers, non-tech innovation, and innovation and IPRs. The OECD Innovation Microdata project is the first large-scale attempt at exploiting firm-level data from innovation surveys for economic analysis in a harmonised way. Research teams for around 20 countries have worked using similar methodologies to examine topics such as innovation and productivity, international technology transfers, non-technological innovation, and innovation and IPRs. The project also involves the collection of internationally-comparable statistics from recent innovation surveys (such as CIS-4) and the development of new indicators. The project report will be published in the second half of 2008. |
