Regional Innovation Indicators
PAXIS EC Model (since 1999)
• Geographic area
• Total population
• Number of cities with 200.000 inhabitants or
more
• Total active population
• Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
• GDP per capita active population
• GDP per capita ratio area/national
• Gross fixed capital formation
• Labour productivity
• Gross Domestic Expenditure on R&D (GERD)
• GERD ratio area/national
• Business Enterprise Expenditure on R&D
• Total R&D personnel/1.000 active workers
• Business Enterprise R&D personnel
• Government R&D personnel
• Higher Education R&D personnel
• Total # of Scientist and Engineers/1000
economically active
• Number of scientific publications
• Workers in most R&D intensive industry sectors
• Number of EPO patents
• Number of EPO patents per million of active
workers
• EPO patents ratio area/national
• Infrastructures (higher education centres, R&D
institutes, science parks, incubators, etc)
• Legal/administrative measures (education,
training for labour workers, entrepreneurship,
mobility for researchers, etc)
• Regional/local financing (public provision of VC,
private VC firms, etc
• Demonstrable results (innovative SME recently
created, etc)
• Other relevant elements and measures
Regional Innovation Indicators
RI Scoreboard (EC Model)
• Global “benchmarking" tool
• Used to compare EC countries/regions
Encuesta Nacional de Innovación (National
Innovation Survey –National Model)
• Local “benchmarking" instrument
• Used to analyse Spanish regions
 Limited, yet powerful, experience
 2 studies reported
 4-year span
Regional Innovation Indicators
madri+d Model
• Science and Technology (ST) Indicators
 Scientific Production Indicators
 Analyse and pursue ST production of CM
 Regional Innovation System Indicators
 R&D statistics (February 2001)
 Accounts of industrial sector (March 2001)
 Technological capital stock estimation (March 2001)
 Intellectual Capital Programme
 Measure IC in universities, RTO, etc
Regional Innovation Indicators
All Models
• Difficulties in defining/filling out “good” indicators

Mainly related to NTBF
 Economic impact
 Survival rate (after 3, 4, 5, n-years)
 More than 250.000 firms Chamber of Commerce
 More than 95% have less than 2 employees
 Inaccurate data for practical purposes
Regional Innovation Indicators
Regional Indicator Activities
• Horizontal Basis
 IE of CM (“Institute of Statistics”)
 INE (“National Institute of Statistics”)
 Under specific agreement w/ INE
 Full link & exploitation of INE results
 Direct data source access
 Aggregate versus disaggregate data
Regional Innovation Indicators
Regional Indicator Activities
• Vertical Basis
 Many different city councils (179)
 Not always “linked” to statistics of CM
 Entrepreneurial profiles in ≠ universities
 Environmental needs in 5 ≠ industrial parks
 FMM (“Federation of City Councils of Madrid”)
 Areas susceptible to investment
Regional Innovation Indicators
Regional Indicator Activities
• Tailored EFQM Instrument
 Periodic survey of entrepreneurial activities
• Many others
 Supported by public & private organisations
 Risk capital reports (AFM- Financial Agency of Madrid)
 Business Structure & Activities of Madrid (Regional
Employment and Economy Ministry -REEM)
 The Economy of Madrid I/O Model (‘96, 2000 /REEM)
 Innovation “Green Book” (2003, COTEC)
Regional Innovation Indicators
Main Disadvantages w/ Innovation Indicators
• Time Scope
Availability of R&D results
 2 years after project completion
 Economic impact can not be easily observed
• Compilation Methodology/Source/Accuracy
 How, where, what, when...
Regional Innovation Indicators
How to Cope with Disadvantages
• Enlarged EU dimension
 Common tools
 EU Innovation Scoreboard
 Regional Innovation Scoreboard
Future development
 Adequate to a more global framework
 Taking into account EUROSTAT
 Looking at OECD stats
 Keeping an eye on UN stats
• Keep a historical series going
 Continuity in actions (EU/National/Regional)
