Abstract

The second half of the 20th century established both the crucial role of innovations in economic dynamics and the role of public policy in encouraging them. The promotion of innovation is justified by new societal and environmental challenges, such as the fight against climate change and the need for attractiveness at all territorial scales. This chapter presents some of the main indicators of innovation, and shows its limits through certain biases. There are many indicators of innovation, which can be grouped according to different criteria: market pull/technology push, context/outcome/impact, and input/output. The production of innovations is indeed the result of interactions between several actors, and these interactions "make systems". Research and development (R&D) activities are aimed at implementing innovations in several forms. Economists distinguish between two main types: technological and non-technological. The number of patents filed is also another criterion for assessing the effectiveness of R&D, at both the micro and macro levels.
