Avaliação dinâmica do índice global de inovação por análise envoltória de dados e índice de Malmquist

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to apply Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Malmquist Index on the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Global Innovation Index (GII) database, showing a different perspective on the performance of countries in their innovation and intellectual property projects and products. This new “look” at the GII made it possible, for example, to show that countries with high performance in isolation do not stand out as much when analyzed together and compared to countries with more modest performances, and vice versa. In 2023, the GII analyzed data from 132 countries, selecting a sample of 33 countries, including Brazil, which are at the same income level, according to WIPO. The evaluation with DEA Malmquist explored five inputs and two outputs of the GII between 2018 and 2023, using R software applications to perform the calculations and produce the graphs.
