WDI provide the Bank's comprehensive database of general statistics. Users may search for data by country, region, income level or specific indicators, some of which reflect the level of development in science, technology and innovation related areas. WDI contains data for 210 countries and territories, from the period 1960 to 2003. The most important indicators on science, technology and innovation provided by WDI are: Computer, communications and other services (% of commercial service exports) Gross value added at factor cost (formerly GDP at factor cost) Highly-skilled IT workers High-technology exports (% of manufactured exports) and (current US$) Industry, value added (% of GDP) Information and communication technology expenditure (% of GDP) / (US$) / (per capita): Internet users (per 1,000 people) Manufacturing, value added (% of GDP) / (annual % growth) / current US) Patent applications, nonresidents Patent applications, residents Research and development expenditure (% of GDP) Researchers in R&D (per million people) Royalty and license fees, receipts (BoP, current US$) Royalty and license fees, payments (BoP, current US$) Scientific and technical journal articles
Knowledge Assessment Methodology (KAM)
The 2005 Knowledge Assessment Matrix (KAM) comprises 80 variables. They are listed below under the following seven functional clusters: Performance, Economic Incentive Regime, Governance, Innovation Systems, Education and Training, Information Infrastructure, and Gender Equity. Variables in the Innovation Systems cluster include: FDI as % of GDP 1993-2002 Royalty and license fees payments $ millions 2002 Royalty and license fees payments (US$ millions) per million population 2002 Royalty and license fees receipts (US$ millions) 2002 Royalty and license fees receipts (US$ millions) per million population 2002 Gross Tertiary Science and Engineering Enrollment Ratio 1987-1997 (as % of tertiary enrollment students) Researchers in R&D Researchers in R&D per million population Total expenditure for R&D as % of GDP Manufacturing Trade as percentage of GDP 2002 Research collaboration between companies and universities Cost to register a business (% of GNI per capita) 2003 Cost to enforce a contract (% of GNI per capita) 2003 Scientific and technical journal articles 1999 Number of technical papers per million people 1999 Administrative burden for startups Availability of Venture capital Patent Applications granted by the USPTO 2003 Patent Applications granted by the USPTO (per million pop.)

OECD - Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry
http://www.oecd.org The OECD’s Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry produces two important publications: OECD Science, Technology and Industry Outlook: provides a comprehensive review of key changes and important trends in science, technology and innovation policy in OECD countries and the factors driving them. OECD Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard: brings together the latest internationally comparable data on trends in the knowledge-based economy. The indicators cover four key areas, notably the creation and diffusion of knowledge; the information society; economic globalization; and productivity and economic structure. As in previous editions, the Scoreboard combines the core OECD indicators on research and development, human resources in science and technology, the spread of information technology in OECD economies; the role of multinational enterprises; and the structure of OECD economies.
