This project aims to develop a set of composite indicators of international technological competitiveness. Preliminary indicators have already been developed in a just-completed project by Viking Instruments and Georgia Tech. These are based on data from available statistical data sets and new data derived from expert opinion. The data cover 20 countries through 1985. Validity of the indicators and their utility for policy purposes appear promising based on initial analysis. The current project extends this work by: (1) augumenting the data from statistical series and expert surveys; (2) conducting sensitivity analyses on indicators developed; (3) analyzing the validity of the indicators by several methods, including comparing the indicators against the several underly- ing dimnesions of competitiveness and comparing the ranking of countries on each new indicator against similar rankings using existing indicators; and (4) performing reliability tests on data sets by tracing them back to their sources and on opinion data by resurvey of respondents and analysis of interrespondent reliability. The anticipated result is a set of practical indicators of technological comptetitiveness suitable for inclusion in subsequent editions of Science & Engineering Indicators.

本项目旨在制定一套国际技术竞争力的综合指标。维京仪器（Viking Instruments）和佐治亚理工学院（Georgia Tech）刚刚完成的一个项目已经开发出了初步指标，这些指标是基于现有统计数据集的数据和来自专家意见的新数据。这些数据涵盖了截至1985年的20个国家。根据初步分析，这些指标的有效性及其用于政策目的的效用似乎是有希望的。目前的项目通过以下方式扩展了这项工作：(1)增加来自统计序列和专家调查的数据；(2)对制定的指标进行敏感性分析；(3)通过几种方法分析指标的有效性，包括将指标与竞争力的几个基本维度进行比较，并将各国在每个新指标上的排名与使用现有指标的类似排名进行比较；(4)通过追溯数据来源，对数据集进行信度检验；通过对受访者的问卷调查和受访者信度分析，对意见数据进行信度检验。预期的结果是一套实用的技术竞争力指标，适合纳入后续版本的科学与工程指标。
