Measuring Global Competition• Global competitiveness is difficult to state as a simple metric
• GC is viewed in a number of ways based on authoritative sources
• Various reports rank regions and nations of the world based upon:– Economic Performance
– Global Innovation
– Research & Development
– Patent Filings
– Education Trends
– Scholarly Metrics
• Reporting organizations utilize a detailed series of parameters and sub-parameters to achieve an overall scaled ranking
• A review of selected rankings indicates no consistent “winner”
• Leadership within the various rankings depends on the data to be assessed and the various analytic frameworks utilized
2
Economic Leadership• GDP offers a standard measurement of economic performance
• Three leading sources provide GDP PPP forecasts– International Monetary Fund Database
– World Bank
– US CIA World Fact Book
• GDP based on purchasing power parity (PPP) is a good metric. It adjusts exchange rates so that an identical good in different countries has the same price when expressed in the same currency
• In terms of GDP, the US continues to lead the world
• China has moved into a number two position. Analysts have forecast China will eventually assume global leadership.
• GDP measures global output, but it is not intended to gauge material well-being, rather it serves as a measure of a nation's productivity

The Global Innovation Index (GII)
• Source: Insead, 2011
• Detailed global analysis
• Ranks 125 countries based on a complex series of pillars and sub-Pillars
• Knowledge Partners: Insead, Alcatel-Lucent, Booz and Company, Confederation of Indian Industry, WIPO
5
The Global Innovation Index• Computed as an average of the scores across inputs pillars
(describing the enabling environment for innovation) and output pillars (measuring actual achievements in innovation)
• Five pillars constitute the Innovation Input Sub-Index: 'Institutions,' 'Human capital and research,' 'Infrastructure', 'Market sophistication' and 'Business sophistication‘
• The Innovation Output Sub-Index is composed of two pillars: 'Scientific outputs' and 'Creative outputs
• The Innovation Efficiency Index, calculated as the ratio of the two Sub-Indices, examines how economies leverage their enabling environments to stimulate innovation results.
6
GII Number One Ranking: Switzerland• Switzerland achieved first place in the overall 2011 GII rankings (up
from position 4th last year) on the basis of its strong position in both the Input and Output Sub-Indices (3rd and 2nd). Although the country does not top any individual pillar, it places within the top 5 in three Input pillars (Institutions at 5th, Market sophistication at 5th, and Business sophistication at 4th) and both Output pillars (Scientific outputs at 2nd and Creative outputs at 3rd). Its many strengths include its top 10 positions on 30 indicators several sub-pillars.
• The top 10 economies in the Innovation Efficiency Index are Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria, China, Pakistan, Moldova, Sweden, Brazil, Argentina, India, and Bangladesh. Three BRIC economies (Brazil, India, and China) are in this select list, with the fourth, the Russian Federation, coming in at 52nd place. By region, the best performers are Côte d’Ivoire (1st), China (3rd), Pakistan (4th), Moldova (5th), Brazil (7th), Jordan (16th), and the US (26th). By income group, in descending order of income , the leaders are Sweden, Brazil, Côte d’Ivoire, and Bangladesh.

Global Competitiveness Report Summary• Switzerland tops the overall rankings
• Singapore overtakes Sweden for second position. Northern and Western European countries dominate the top 10 with Sweden (3rd), Finland (4th), Germany (6th), the Netherlands (7th), Denmark (8th) and the United Kingdom (10th). Japan remains the second-ranked Asian economy at 9th place, despite falling three places since last year.
• The United States continues its decline for the third year in a row, falling one more place to fifth position; Macroeconomic vulnerabilities continue to build, some aspects of the United States’ institutional environment continue to raise concern among business leaders - low public trust in politicians and concerns about government inefficiency. More positive note, banks and financial institutions are rebounding for the first time since the financial crisis.
13
Global Competitiveness Report Summary• Germany maintains a strong position within the Eurozone, although
it goes down one position to sixth place, while the Netherlands (7th) improves by one position in the rankings, France drops three places to 18th, and Greece continues its downward trend to 90th. Competitiveness-enhancing reforms will play a key role in revitalizing growth in the region and tackling its key challenges, fiscal consolidation and persistent unemployment
• The results show that while competitiveness in advanced economies has stagnated over the past seven years, in many emerging markets it has improved, placing their growth on a more stable footing and mirroring the shift in economic activity from advanced to emerging economies.
14
Global Competitiveness Report Summary• The People’s Republic of China (26th) continues to lead the way
among large developing economies, improving by one more place and solidifying its position among the top 30. Among the four other BRICS economies, South Africa (50th) and Brazil (53rd) move upwards while India (56th) and Russia (66th) experience small declines. Several Asian economies perform strongly, with Japan (9th) and Hong Kong SAR (11th) also in the top 20.

• Trending trajectories can be assumed based on metrics tracking percent of attainment across wide population groups (Barro-Lee data).
• A trajectory is illustrated that supports the argument that attainment of undergraduate and graduate degrees is increasing in emerging economies (Brazil, India, China) while US attainment appears to be less than the peak year of 2000, although based on full population is still a substantial number of people. 22

• Asia Expanding Researchers and High-Tech EducationIn terms of total researchers, the U.S. and the E.U. experienced moderate annual growth of about 3% between 1995 and 2006, while growth in the Asian region outside Japan ranged from 7-11%. China averaged nearly 9% growth annually in researchers, far outstripping any other country. Over this period the number of China’s researchers nearly tripled, from just over half a million to more than 1.4 million, boosting its global share from 13% to 25%. The U.S. also has around 1.4 million researchers, which places China at a level playing field in overall numbers (although there are questions about the quality of Chinese researchers)
Number of First University/Doctoral Degrees• China now
produces an equal or greater number of natural science and engineering (NS&E) doctoral degrees compared to the United States, rising four-fold from approx 5,000 in 1997 to over 20,000 in 2007

• “The US is no longer the Colossus of Science, dominating the research landscape in its production of scientific papers, that it was 30 years ago. It now shares this realm, on an increasingly equal basis, with the EU27 and Asia-Pacific. In terms of relative citation impact — an indicator of utility, influence, significance and similar concepts — the US still holds a commanding but eroding peak position. Europe is beginning to match US performance in citation impact, and analysts are likely to be tempted to predict that, in a decade or two, Asian nations will do so as well”

• “Beginning around the mid-1990s, China’s output of scientific reports expanded dramatically, commencing a steep upward trajectory that has only increased in recent years.” Charts covering the years 1999 to 2008, capture “the increase in the annual number of Thomson Reuters-indexed papers featuring at least one author address in China. From just over 20,000 papers in 1998, China’s output increased to upwards of 112,000 papers by 2008 —with the nation more than doubling its output since 2004 alone. By the measure of annual output, China surpassed Japan, the UK and Germany in 2006 and now stands second only to the USA.”

Later years are compared back to that point.• Each country is then tracked in terms of growth as a ratio.• The USA grows more slowly than world average but the EU-27 does better• China accelerates past these, growing its published research output to more than 75 times the total in 1981 (135,000 articles cf 1,750).• In some technology fields it already exceeds US output• In Chemistry it has grown 150-fold and now produces 27,000 papers per year compared to 23,000 for the US.• Initial signs of reaching a plateau – but growth in physical sciences is being mirrored by growth in biomedical and social sciences• Still, plenty of room for further expansion of the research portfolio

• “Brazil is an increasingly important and competitive research economy. Its research workforce capacity and R&D investment are expanding rapidly, offering many new possibilities in a diversifying research portfolio. It has received much less policy attention than China, however, and the research base in Latin America in general is unfamiliar to many in Europe and Asia. The report shows that Brazil’s output has doubled in ten years to 2007, part of a long-term trend of growth that far exceeds established G7 economies. Relative to the rest of the world, Brazil has exceptional capacity in biology-based disciplines and research related to natural resources.”

• “In the modern era, science and technology have been central to India’s development efforts since the nation achieved independence in 1947...Despite these achievements, recent years have seen a growing realization among scholars, policymakers, and other observers that India lags behind other key countries and some of its BRIC partners in research investment and output... A nagging problem, however—perhaps paradoxically for the second-most populous nation on earth—is a current lack of human resources: the availability of qualified researchers has not kept pace with the increased funding ”

Yet its relative impact, across all fields taken together, remains below the world average. While its neighboring nations’ citation impact is on the rise, Japan’s numbers have lagged ...In contrast to the scientific output of two surging Asian economies previously examined in these Global Research Reports—India and China—Japan’s yield of research publications has been comparatively flat over the last decade.”

• “The UK spends 4% of the world’s Gross Expenditure on R&D on 6% of the world’s researchers who are authors on 8% of the world’s research articles and reviews. These papers attract 11% of the world’s citations and so create 14% of the world’s highly cited output. Those exceptional articles include 17% of the world’s research papers with more than 500 citations and 20% of those with more than 1000 citations. Its average research impact now surpasses that of the USA. Despite this outstanding performance – in terms of research efficiency, effectiveness and excellence – the level of private-sector research investment in the UK is surprisingly low and has fallen relative to comparators. The innovative capacity and potential of the UK is therefore not matched by its engagement with economic competitiveness, but this is not the fault of the research base.

Research Metrics: Latest View• China
– Plateau in growth in physical sciences and engineering but continued growth in biomedical sciences. .
• Brazil– Growing in a different way to China because of its emphasis as a ‘natural knowledge’ economy,
which may give it great sustainability.
• Outside the BRIC(Korea) group,– Singapore is small but operates in a very efficient manner.
– Iran has a very dynamic profile that is not limited to suspect technologies.
– Attention can also be drawn to Mexico, Egypt, Turkey and Poland as countries that have significant potential likely to be realised in the next ten years.
– “This changes the geography quite a bit, and then you start to look at the changing collaboration which is becoming less G7 orientated and more regional. It may be that regionalisation that will affect the trans-Atlantic hegemony as much as any single growth country. The Asia-Pacific network could be very powerful; a Latin America network around a Brazil-Mexico axis should also emerge. This may then boost the status of regional journals, and that could affect our strategy, although the predominance of English as the common research language may
constrain that).”

• Scholars continue to benefit from publishing in global journals– The goal to demonstrate quality rather than quantity tends to support the traditional
publishers
– However, there are a combination of emerging and legacy publishers visible in China, India and Brazil.

Mr. Prakash Chand thought to bring out Indian Citation Index (ICI) database covering ~1000 top Indian scholarly journals encompassing all disciplines of knowledge. The ICI database enables access and empowers users to search, track, measure and collaborate in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities to turns raw data/information into the powerful knowledge one needs. ICI like other indexes enables user to move back in time to previously published papers, but uniquely one can also look forward in time to determine who has subsequently cited an earlier piece of research.”

Conclusion• Global competitiveness is accelerating in many ways.
• Established economies continue to lead in-depth innovative indices based on complex parameters. However, RDEs are rising through the rankings at an incremental pace.
• There is continuing evidence of growth in emerging economies in terms of economic potential, R&D expenditures, academic trends and bibliometric trends.
• STM remains as a stable market, publishers are partnering and locating business units abroad. New competition is not quickly emerging in STM.
• Based on scholarly metrics additional RDE’s are following the high growth patterns established by China.
• Major question moving forward on all measures: Sustainability?
