Knowledge Economic Index

<p>The Knowledge Indexes were designed as a tool for benchmarking a country's position in relation to others in the global <a href="/facts/Knowledge_economy/RseSF1pV">knowledge economy</a>. It was created by the <a href="/facts/World_Bank_Institute/pANNQoq4">World Bank Institute</a> using the <a href="/facts/Knowledge_assessment_methodology/ddTnXyDh">Knowledge Assessment Methodology</a> (KAM). The World Bank discontinued the index after 2012 and it was replaced by The Global Knowledge Index (GKI) from Knowledge4All, a joint initiative between the <a href="/facts/United_Nations_Development_Programme/y3gpXUHD">United Nations Development Programme</a> (UNDP) and the <a href="/facts/Mohammed_bin_Rashid_Al_Maktoum_Knowledge_Foundation/7vxzeQAR">Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation</a> (MBRF). Criteria listed in a <a href="/facts/European_Bank_for_Reconstruction_and_Development/dXGW7vHH">European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)</a> document on the KEI published in 2019 include institutional & legal frameworks (as a basis for patents etc.), number of technical graduates, research spending, number of patents, some measure of collaboration, and amount of venture capital. In total, 38 contributing indicators are described in the ERBD index methodology.
