The DSTI manages databases of internationally comparable statistics in the areas of science, technology and industry. These statistics and indicators underpin policy-related analytical work, particularly with respect to links between technology, competitiveness and globalisation. DSTI also plays a leading role in the development of international statistical standards in the STI area.

Economic globalisation has typically been measured using trade and FDI statistics. However, the emergence of global value chains with products often fabricated in one country, assembled in a second and sold in a third country, challenges these traditional indicators. This paper shows how international input-output tables can be used to provide complementary indicators on the growing importance of these global value chains.

Human resources are key in the creation and diffusion of innovation, and doctorate holders are not only the most qualified in terms of educational attainment, but also those who are specifically trained to conduct research. But not much is known about their paths on the labour market. This is why the OECD launched a project with the UNESCO Institute for Statistics and Eurostat to develop internationally comparable indicators on the careers and mobility of doctorate holders. This working paper presents the project's three main technical components.

The OECD Input-Output database is a useful empirical tool for economic research and structural analysis at international level. It highlights inter-industrial relationships and when used in conjunction with other OECD databases such as STAN Industry, Business R&D Expenditures (ANBERD) and Bilateral Trade Database (BTD), it provides a tool for consistent economic analysis of growth, structural change, productivity, competitiveness and employment at the sectoral and macroeconomic levels.

Just published, this book draws from the OECD "Blue Sky II" Forum and presents policy needs, measurement issues and some of the challenges in developing indicators for cross-cutting and emerging topics in science, technology and innovation. It shares ideas to exploit existing data and develop new measurement frameworks. The debate is intended to guide future development of STI indicators at the OECD and beyond.
