Profiles offer bird's eye view of each country
The Innovation for Development Report's
Country Profiles offer a bird's eye view of the particular situation
and dimensions of innovation capacity in each of 68 important countries
that account for the lion's share of world output. The thumbnail image
to the right is a sample of a two-page country profile.
(In
addition to the printed version of The
Innovation for Development Report 2009–2010,
which features the 68 country profiles, 63 additional country profiles
are also available for purchase in a downloadable .pdf version in the Supplement
to The Innovation for Development Report. Below is a
listing of all 131 countries with their corresponding Innovation Capacity Index rank and score.)
Key
Indicators
Each profile includes a
set of key selected indicators
related
to population, GDP, literacy rate, life expectancy, female labor force
participation rate, and CO2 emissions, drawing on statistics from the
World Bank’s World Development Indicators, the IMF World Economic
Outlook, and UNESCO.
Pictorial
representation of Innovation Capacity Index
Also featured is a
pictorial
representation of the
Innovation Capacity Index (ICI), showing each country’s ICI rankings
and scores on the five key
Index pillars: Institutional environment; Human capital, training, and
social inclusion; Regulatory and legal framework; Research and
development; Usage of ICT.
Surrounding these are
the pillar subindexes:
Good governance; Country policy assessment; Social inclusion and equity
policies; Education; Doing business; R&D infrastructure; Patents
and trademarks; Telephone communications; Mobile cellular
communications; Internet, computers and TV; Government ICT usage;
and Quality of the infrastructure.
An “Index thermometer,” a
horizontal graphic representation of the
relative contribution of each pillar score to the overall Index score,
is yet another feature.

Country
relative performance graphs
A
“Country relative
performance” graph includes four radial charts
comparing a given country’s Index pillar and pillar subindex scores
with the average scores of the countries at the same income level and
having a similar political regime.
Top priorities for
policy reform and country achievements
The final section, called “In
focus,” is divided into two bar graphs,
one titled “Top priorities for policy reform” that shows a select group
of indicators in which a country’s performance is below the income
group average. These represent areas warranting greater policy focus
and efforts at reform. The other bar graph, “Significant indicators
above income group average,” highlights some of the country’s
achievements. The priorities for policy reform and areas of achievement
are selected from a list of indicators ranked according to their
statistical significance (highest Pearson coefficient) with respect to
the final Index scores. This means that a) an improvement in the
suggested areas of reform would produce a greater impact on the final
Index score and rankings, and b) that high marks on these significant
indicators contributed to raising the country’s ranking and score with
respect to countries in its income group.
