DISSEMINATION OECD Science, Technology and industry Scoreboard Towards a Knowledge-Based Economy 2001 DATA DETAILS Statistical Annex includes:
DEFINITIONS ICT Related Occupations There is no internationally agreed list of ICT-related occupations. For the purpose of this publication data was matched on occupations from the US Current Population Survey (CPS) with the ISCO-88-based occupation data from the Eurostat Labour Force Survey. There was a problem matching at the low-skilled level. High Skilled ICT Occupations selected for Europe (ISCO-88) computing professionals (213, including computer systems designers and analysts, computer programmers, computer engineers) computer associate professionals (312, including computer assistants, computer equipment operators, industrial robot controllers) optical and electronic equipment operators (313, including photographers and image and sound recording equipment operators, broadcasting and telecommunications equipment operators) Low Skilled ICT Occupations selected for Europe (ISCO-88): electrical and electronic equipment mechanics and fitters ( 213,312) High Skilled ICT Occupations selected from United States data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), US Bureau of the Census Computer systems analysts and scientists (64) operations and systems researchers and analysts (65) computer programmers (229) tool programmers, numerical control (233) electrical and electronic technicians (213) broadcast equipment operators (228) computer operators (308) peripheral equipment operators (309) Low Skilled ICT Occupations selected from United States data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), US Bureau of the Census Include data processing equipment repairers (525) electrical power installers and repairers (577) telephone line installers and repairers (527) telephone installers and repairers (529) electronic repairers, communications and industrial equipment (523) Technology Balance of Payment Technology receipts and payments constitute the main form of disembodied technology diffusion. trade in technology comprises four main categories:
Investment in Knowledge Research and Development (R&D) + software + public and private spending on education as a percentage of GDP Gross Fixed Capital Formation machinery and equipment + other as a percentage of GDP OECD Classification of Manufacturing Industries Based on Technology using ISIC rev.3 activity breakdown High technology Industries
Medium-high -technology Industries
Medium-low-technology industries
Low-technology Industries
The OECD data for strategic alliances are based on the Thomson Financial Securities database(SDC Platinum). The database contains almost 70 000 alliances, grouped by sector, type, purpose, etc., from 1988 to the present. It is based on public announcements by firms. Thus, it does not include information on undisclosed deals and may under-represent alliances among small and medium-sized enterprises, which tend not to be reported by the press.
