Some Comparisons with Other Scoreboards

Abstract

Taking into account other scoreboards dealing with the measurement of national innovation performance and comparing the results of the EIS-IUS with them, we can see some convergent or similar results, but also quite different rankings and clusterings of countries are not so rare. It is true that these scoreboards are not always directly comparable since they employ different methodology and datasets (as we mentioned in the first and second chapter). However, if we know the differences (and similarities) their findings can be helpful and can correct the shortcomings of the EIS-IUS.
