This paper aims to evaluate the usefulness of the new indicator against the background of the difficulties in measuring innovation outputs and outcomes. We develop a unique conceptual framework for measuring innovation outcomes that distinguishes structural change and structural upgrading as two key dimensions in both manufacturing and services. We conclude that the new indicator is biased towards a somewhat narrowly defined \"high-tech\" understanding of innovation outcomes. We illustrate our framework proposing a broader set of outcome indicators capturing also structural upgrading. We find that the results for the modified indicator differ substantially for a number of countries, with potentially wide-ranging consequences for innovation and industrial policies.","onlinedate":"2016-11-08 12:00:00","lang":"English","publication_series":"","publication_date":"20161001","publication_date_year":"","publication_date_full":false,"publication_num_pages":"40","keywords":"[]","jelcodes":"[]","related_publications":"[]","pdf":365119,"zip":null,"link":"","monthly_report":true,"monthly_report_main":false,"monthly_report_volume":"","monthly_report_pages":"","monthly_report_pages_sort":"0","issue":"529","journal":"WIFO Working Papers","publisher":"","invisible":false,"external":false,"embargo_date":"2016-11-08 12:00:00","types":[44410],"research_groups":[3491],"collaboration":"","persons":[3635,15307,15309,14175,15311],"persons_data":"[{\"personId\":3635,\"personName\":\"J\u00fcrgen Janger\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":15307,\"personName\":\"Torben Schubert\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":15309,\"personName\":\"Petra Andries\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":14175,\"personName\":\"Christian Rammer\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":15311,\"personName\":\"Machteld Hoskens\",\"organisationNames\":[]}]","clients":[],"subclients":[],"partners":[],"topics":[],"host_publication_title":"","host_publication_subtitle":"","place_of_publication":"","host_publication_editors":"[]","type_description":"","output_media":"","chapter":"","article_number":"","scientific_assistance":"[]","scientific_review":"[]","version":"","release_date":null,"expiration_date":null,"surveyor":"","research_assistance":"","edv":"","additional_info_de":"","additional_info_en":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The EU 2020 Innovation Indicator.
