Nanotechnology for Green Innovation

This paper brings together information collected through Working Party on Nanotechnology discussions and projects. It relies in particular on preliminary results from a project on the responsible development of nanotechnology and outcomes of a symposium held in 2012.

Unlocking Global Collaboration to accelerate innovation for Alzheimer's disease and dementia

The aim of this consultation, to be held on 20-21 June in Oxford (UK), is to stimulate discussion and the highest possible level of expert engagement in setting out an agenda for OECD action to accelerate innovation for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Measuring Patent Quality: Indicators of Technological and Economic Value (STI Working Paper 2013/3)

The indicators proposed, which can be constructed on all patents, have the advantage of relying on a homogeneous set of information and of being comparable across countries and over time. To facilitate their compilation on data from other intellectual property (IP) offices, the SQL-based program codes used to calculate the indicators are also supplied.

International Mobile Roaming Agreements

This report explores principles that could form the basis for good practices in the establishment of international mobile roaming (IMR) agreements between two or more countries. Given the cross-country nature of IMR services and, especially, the fact that wholesale prices are determined by foreign operators outside the jurisdiction of domestic regulators, international co-operation is vital to address the challenges in roaming markets.

Economies interconnectées : Comment tirer parti des chaînes de valeur mondiales - Rapport de synthèse

Le fractionnement international de la production sur les chaînes de valeur mondiales (CVM) remet en question notre manière de considérer l’économie mondiale. Il est essentiel de comprendre le fonctionnement des CVM pour aider les pays à mieux en tirer profit. Ce rapport présente les principales observations et implications en termes de politique publique mises en évidence par les travaux que l’OCDE a consacrés aux CVM.

Une nouvelle analyse met en lumière l’importance des services pour le commerce mondial

De nouveaux indicateurs des échanges en termes de valeur ajoutée révèlent que les services – logistique, conception, transport, etc. – sont beaucoup plus importants pour le commerce mondial qu’il n’y paraît dans les calculs classiques des exportations et des importations.

Une nouvelle approche de la mondialisation et des chaînes de valeur mondiales est nécessaire pour stimuler la croissance et l’emploi

Les progrès technologiques, des coûts de transport moins coûteux et la libéralisation des échanges ont transformé la façon dont les entreprises produisent des biens et les commercialisent dans le monde entier. Les pays qui sauront s’ouvrir aux échanges et à l’investissement et encourager l’innovation faciliteront l’intégration de leurs entreprises dans les chaînes de valeur mondiales (CVM), moteur de la croissance économique globale.

Stimulating Economic Growth through Knowledge-Based Investment

Recent studies have shown that knowledge-based capital (KBC) is an important source of economic growth in many of the world’s advanced economies (much more so than R&D alone) and is positively correlated with real GDP per capita in a cross-section of these economies. This literature is still in its infancy and there is, as yet, no systematic discussion of KBC policy. This working paper makes an attempt to fill this gap.

The Role of Data in Promoting Growth and Well-Being

The OECD is undertaking extensive analysis on the role of data in promoting innovation, growth and well-being within its horizontal project on New Sources of Growth: Knowledge-Based Capital.
