- Summary:
- Because of the role of innovation as a driver of economic productivity and growth and as a mechanism for improving people's well-being in other ways, understanding the nature,determinants, and impacts of innovation has become increasingly important to policy makers. To be effective, investment in innovation requires this understanding, which, in turn, requiresmeasurement of the underlying inputs and subsequent outcomes of innovation processes. In May 2016, at the request of the National Center for Science and EngineeringStatistics of the National Science Foundation, the Committee on National Statistics of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop - bringing together academic researchers, private and public sector experts, and representatives from public policy agencies - to develop strategies forbroadening and modernizing innovation information systems.This publication summarizes the presentation and discussion of the event.
