The technological capabilities of nations: the state of the art of synthetic indicators (2009, methodology): “We will consider nine different exercises to measure the technological capabilities of a country: the Summary Innovation Index and the Global Innovation Index, both of the European Commission; the Technology Index, the Technological Readiness Index and the Technological Innovation Index of the World”
Cities and Regions Competing in the Global Economy: Knowledge and Local Development Policies (2007, background): “More recently, Archibugi and Coco (2004) have created a new indicator of technological capability for 162 nations, comprised of three main components: the creation of technology, technological infrastructures, and the development of human skills.”
Innovation and Economic Development (2009, methodology): “The ArCo measure, developed by Archibugi and Coco (2004), was constructed as the av rage of eight different indicators reflecting various aspects of technological capability (patents, publications, ICT, electricity consumption and education) for 162 countries in the lat 1980s and 1990s.”
The technology clubs: the distribution of knowledge across nations (2008, methodology): “…to standardize the indicators adopts the “distance from the best and the worst performers” method of standardization, which is the same used for the indicators composing the Technology Achievement Index (UNDP, 2001; Desai et al., 2002) and the ArCo Technology Index (Archibugi and Coco, 2004a,b).”
The Clean Development Mechanism and the International Diffusion of Technologies: An Empirical Study (2008, methodology): “In order to measure this technological capability (TECH_CAPABILITY), we use the ArCo technology index developed by Archibugi and Coco (2004). This composite indicator captures three aspects determining technological capabilities: the creation of technology (number of patents and number of scientific”
Technology transfer by CDM projects: A comparison of Brazil, China, India and Mexico (2009, methodology): “developed by Archibugi and Coco (2004). This composite indicator captures three aspects determining technological capabilities: the creation of technology (number of patents and number of scientific articles), the technological infrastructures (internet penetration, telephone penetration and electri”
Environmental regulation and the export dynamics of energy technologies (2008, unknown): “…Total FDI inflows as % of GDP WDI RLj Rule of Law (Kauffman et al., 2003) World Bank Considering that human skills are widely represented by the human development dimensions, we have built a new technological index based only on two out the four components proposed by Archibugi and Coco (2004).”
A multilevel analysis of innovation in developing countries (2008, methodology): “As measures of the national research infrastructure, we use a set of indicators that has been readily employed for this purpose in the literature (Furman, et al., 2002; Archibugi and Coco, 2004; Fagerberg, et al. 2007).”
The dynamics of national innovation systems: a panel cointegration analysis of the coevolution between innovative capability and absorptive capacity (2011, background): “As argued by Archibugi and Coco (2004), Godinho et al. (2006) and Fagerberg and Srholec (2008), it is crucial to adopt a multifaceted description and measurement of the various factors that contribute to shape nations’ absorptive capacity, rather than simply regarding them as a set of exogenous…”
The role of patent protection in (clean/green) technology transfer (2010, background): “(2008) do not relate their data on CDM projects to information on IPRs, except via a technological capability variable provided by Archibugi and Coco (2004) that incorporates previous patenting in the country.”
