欧盟委员会支持可再生生物资源的生产及其转化为增值产品和生物能源。 2018年10月启动了一项旨在促进欧洲可持续发展的新生物经济战略。然而，在监测、建模和评估生物经济部门的影响和发展轨迹方面所做的工作很少。为了衡量欧洲各国当前的可持续发展绩效，本研究提出了一个新指标——“生物经济社会经济指标”（SEIB）——来衡量生物经济部门的社会经济绩效。利用欧盟统计局的数据和层次分析流程，采用多标准决策分析，旨在提供成员国 (MS) 之间的直接比较。然而，生物经济涉及大量部门，因此，有必要提出该指标的两个版本，以便找出最具创新性部门的影响：第一个版本考虑所有生物部门（“整个部门的SEIB”），而第二个版本则排除所有主要部门（“制造业和生物能源部门的SEIB”）。结果参照欧洲平均水平确定了三组 MS（良性、中间和落后）。爱尔兰在排名中位居第一，只有另外三个成员国（丹麦、葡萄牙和奥地利）在这两项排名中都符合“德行”国家的资格。
The European Commission supports the production of renewable biological resources and their conversion into value added products and bio-energy. A new bioeconomy strategy aimed at promoting a sustainable Europe was launched in October 2018. However, little work has been done to monitor, model and appraise the impacts and developmental trajectories of bioeconomy sectors. To gauge the current sustainability performance of individual European countries, the present study proposes a new indicator - the "socio-economic indicator for the bioeconomy" (SEIB) - to measure the socio-economic performance of bioeconomy sectors. Drawing on Eurostat data and the analytic hierarchy process, multi-criteria decision analysis is employed with the aim of providing a direct comparison between member states (MSs). However, bioeconomy involves a large number of sectors and, therefore, it is useful to propose two versions of this indicator in order also to single out the impact of most innovative sectors: the first version considers all bio-based sectors ("SEIB for overall sectors") while the second version excludes all primary sectors ("SEIB for manufacturing and bio-energy sectors"). The results identify three groups of MSs (virtuous, in-between and laggard) with reference to the European average. Ireland occupies the first position in the ranking, and only three other MSs (Denmark, Portugal and Austria) qualify as "virtuous" countries in both rankings.
