摘要:

AbstractIn 1991 the Office of Technology Assessment in the USA conducted a study of federally-funded research. It concluded that sustaining the US research system will require more than funding: the Federal Government must make tough choices in guiding this system.

摘要:

AbstractIndirect measures of defining high technology products employ a high level of aggregation and may produce an inaccurate representation of the true trade balance. The US Census Bureau produces its Advanced Technology Products trade measure by examining a detailed product list and judging which products embody high technology. The two approaches produce widely different results. The level of detail in the Census Bureau method permits the development, implementation and review of much more narrowly-aimed policy actions than was previously possible.

摘要:

AbstractIn this paper the technological balance of payments (TBP) is considered as an indicator of international technology transfer.A description is given of the procedures currently used in Italy for the statistical recording of currency transactions related to TBP and to non-connected technical assistance, together with the results of a survey to evaluate the technological content of the data survey operations and to propose modifications to the survey questionnaire. The data on the Italian and OECD countries TBP are analyzed.There is a discussion of the modifications made by the Italian Exchange Office to the statistical survey method, and of the recommendations contained in the TBP Manual used by the OECD for enhancing data compatibility at the international level. Lastly, several observations are made concerning the impact of methodological changes and the opening up of European markets on the capacity of TBP to provide satisfactory indications regarding technology transfer.

摘要:

AbstractPatents are an indicator of invention and innovation but, as with other indicators, they have their pitfalls. This paper looks at their use and their advantages and disadvantages. It shows the heterogeneous nature of patents, how they can be compared with other indicators, and offers some international comparisons.

摘要:

AbstractCHI Research has developed a system of technology indicators for measuring the technological strengths of companies. They are based on more than one million US patents, and eight million patent citations, and provide comparative indicators of the activity, impact, speed, science linkage, and technology linkage of the activities of thousands of US and foreign companies. This report describes the key indicators, and then discusses their applicability to policy, strategic and tactical analyses.

摘要:

AbstractLimitations in the data available to analyse the processes of technological innovation have led researchers to seek more comprehensive data through interview-based or mail surveys. Although these data have conceptual and practical weaknesses, they add significantly to the quantitative resources available for innovation analysis.

摘要:

AbstractMeasuring the use of key technologies by industry provides policy-makers with information about which industries and regions are most advanced in this respect. When questions are added on barriers and incentives to the investment in these technologies, the results support policy development and the monitoring of existing policies, especially in the areas of trade, competitiveness and productivity. As standards develop for international comparisons, surveys of technology use are providing a body of information different from that derived from surveys of research and development and of innovation. As a result, technology use, especially in manufacturing, is becoming an established economic indicator.

摘要:

AbstractS&T indicators are an essential tool for policymakers as such and have become a political issue. This paper traces the history of science indicators and their link to the world of politics. It concludes that nations which ignore S&T indicators do so to their detriment.
