1 OECD-JRC Second workshop on Composite Indicators of Country Performance Paris, February 26-27, 2003 Using composites for policy-making Three ongoing works in the Commission Stefano Tarantola (JRC) Applied Statistics Group 1
2 Summary Ongoing works of the Commission on composite indicators: I. The CI of the knowledge-based economy developed by DG RTD II. the Internal Market Index developed by DG MARKT III. the e-business Readiness CI developed by DG ENTR 2
3 Phases to build composite indicators stakeholder involvement 1a. decide on the phenomenon being measured 1b. draw an analytical conceptual model 2. select sub-indicators 3. investigate statistical properties of sub-indicators 4. check data availability (devise imputation strategies) 5. set-up normalization methods 6. set-up weighting methods 7. assess robustness of the composite indicator 8. investigate presentational issues (related uncertainties) 3

5 CI of the knowledge-based economy KEY FIGURES By DG RTD Key Figures provides a set of indicators to take stock of Europe s position in Science, Technology and knowledge economy. Two composite indicators of the knowledge-based economy (investment and performance) are included. 5
6 CI of the knowledge-based economy 1a. decide on the phenomenon being measured The composites aim to capture country progress in the transition towards the knowledge-based economy, by focusing on the knowledge dimension of the Lisbon agenda. 1b. draw an analytical conceptual model Dimensions of investment: creation and diffusion of new knowledge Elements of performance: productivity, scientific and technological performance, use of the information infrastructure, effectiveness of the education system 6
7 CI of the knowledge-based economy 2. select sub-indicators Investment: R & D efforts (GERD), investment in highly skilled human capital (S&T PhD, RSE), capacity and quality of education system (education spending, LLL), purchase of new capital equipment that can contain high tech (GFCF), modernisation of public services (e-government) Performance: labour productivity (GDP/cap), EU and US patents, scientific publications, e-commerce, schooling success rate. key indicators reviewed and assessed by experts Member States + Adhesion countries + US + JP coverage

17 The Internal Market Index 1a. decide on the phenomenon being measured Objective: provide some measure of the effects of the Internal Marke policies in terms of MS progress in the functioning of the Internal Marke 1b. draw an analytical conceptual model Consider Internal Market policies in terms of free circulation of goods, services, capital and workers within the EU. Model will be revisited (workshop in April) to align the Index more closely with the realities of the IM. 2. select sub-indicators TWELVE sub-indicators. SIX of them are Commission s Structural Indicators in the domain Market Reform. 17
18 The Internal Market Index 2. select sub-indicators Intra EU Foreign Direct Investment /GDP Decreased greatly after technology bubble burst. No relation with internal market policy. Need to revise Intra-EU FDI sub-indicator FDI stocks (rather than FDI flows) seem to improve the significance of the sub-indicator to measure progress towards Internal Market (consultation with experts). 18
