The unprecedented pace and scale of today’s globalisation process
has attracted much attention in recent years. Globalisation is having a
particularly large impact on innovation. The scope for global collaboration
is increasing as more of the world’s regions possess important research and
innovation capabilities. So while the United States, the European Union and
Japan have so far been the leaders in this respect, countries such as China
and India have a growing research and innovation capacity.

The internationalisation of scientific and technological activities in the process of economic globalisation has grown in scale. The role and strategy of multinational firms in R&D raises new issues not only for the firms themselves but also for the policy makers responsible for developing their countries’ research and innovation policies. This report sets out the facts and trends that emerge from the available data.

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.
