This tenth edition of the OECD Science, Technology and Industry (STI) Scoreboard builds on the OECD’s 50 years of indicator development to present major world trends in knowledge and innovation. It analyses a wide set of indicators of science, technology, globalisation and industrial performance in OECD and major non-OECD countries (notably Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, Indonesia, China and South Africa) and includes some experimental indicators that provide insight into new areas of policy interest.

Entry, exit and survival

The birth and death of new enterprises are key indicators of business dynamism. Birth rates reflect an important dimension of entrepreneurship: the capacity to start up entirely new businesses. Death rates can give policy makers an indication of the impact of downturns on businesses and show that running a business often also involves failure.
