I have read that Estonia and Armenia have great social ecosystem to generate scientific contributions...
Hi Angel. You might find it useful to look at the National Systems of Innovation (NSI) literature on this. Also National Systems of Entrepreneurship (NSE) literature. David Audretsch, Zoltan Acs and Erik Lehman are key authors you might look up. Cheers, Marc
think one can use countries' competitiveness ratings/ rankings for this, because part of the ratings cover aspects like technology, innovation etc.
or, countries development indices

This is an interesting query. The World Bank has a Doing Business Index, with rankings determined by sorting the aggregate distance to frontier scores on 10 topics, each consisting of several indicators, giving equal weight to each topic. (The topics are Starting a Business, Dealing with Construction Permits, Getting Electricity, Registering Property, Getting Credit, Protecting Minority Investors, Paying Taxes, Trading Across Borders, Enforcing Contracts, and Resolving Insolvency.) Something along these lines could surely be constructed to measure an economy's friendliness to research, development, and innovation.
Dear Brian Barnard, Marc Cowling and Olivier Serrat
Thank you for your feedback. Indeed, I will talk with my colleagues about NSI, NSE and Doing Business Index. Our University is following the trend of coworkings and startups, as the matter of fact, most of the good and services produced are on the academic line.
Best Regards,
Previous advices are quite useful, but think about EU countries. Many of them highly improved R&D on national base mostly because of filling the high requirements of EU funding programms.
