For many years the human race has been striving to develop itself and its environment. The concept of education seems to lend support to this claim. Thus far, it does not appear that the world has been able to grapple satisfactorily with this problem. This is because it will seem that only a third of the world's population have experienced any measure of development or have succeeded in overcoming the problems of poverty since the advent of the industrial revolution about 3 centuries ago which brought modern civilization. This may mean that either our planning is defective, which could be the result of poor understanding of the socio-economic system or that the adequacy of the planning tool kit to deal satisfactorily with the confounding problem of underdevelopment is in question or both.The pervasive and high incidence of poverty, ignorance, disease, squalor, poor diet and poor shelter and the attendant incidences of labour unrest, political instability, inflation, economic bankruptcy, war, and revolutions are indeed a testimony that the planning and management of the world's socio-economic order are still defective. This stresses the need not only to device new approaches but also in addition to carry out a self re-examination or evaluation.This book furnishes a systematic approach to mathematical modeling and empirical research in economics. Indeed the leap from reality or economic theory to mathematical model is often a difficult one and attempts to simplify this step have been haphazard so far. A lot of mathematical tools have been proliferated by mathematicians and the modeling methodology features a wide range of approaches, which include many specialized techniques. These include Mathematics in its own right as a common denominator, Statistics, Econometrics, Systems Analysis, Operations Research, Cybernetics, Simulation, Input-Output Analysis, Cost Benefit Analysis and a host of others. These approaches have been elucidated at international seminars and some of them have acquired the status of disciplines and sub-disciplines. Even though each and every one of the above techniques constitutes a powerful tool by itself, ample opportunity exists to blend them in the solution of economic problems. So far no real effort has been made to harmonize these set of tool kits. Indeed Econometrics one of these sub-disciplines is the translation of economic theory into mathematical formulation and the application of statistical and mathematical methods in characterizing solutions with a view to achieving better economic policies and better focus and control in development. As a tool for development planning, many critics who feel that existing econometric models are unreliable and thus will be dangerous to base development planning and policy decisions on them have attacked it. The inability of mathematicians to communicate effectively with non-mathematicians at one level and also the inability among practitioners to systematize econometric modeling procedures at the other hand might be the source of such suspicious contentions that exist among critics. This thus stresses the need apart from devising new approaches, to reconcile, harmonize and rationalize the above techniques in order to harness their individual strengths more optimally in the solution of economic problems and thus development planning.

Researchers have recognized over the past few years that quantitative analysis of the incidence and trends in poverty, while essential for national economic development planning, must be complemented by qualitative methods that help planners and managers understand the cultural, social, political, and institutional context within which projects are designed and implemented. This report is based on a two-day workshop held in June 1998, where outside research specialists and World Bank staff discussed the importance of integrating these research methods.

Regional economic development has attracted the interest of economists, geographers, planners and regional scientists for a long time. And, of course, it is a field that has developed a large practitioner cohort in government and business agencies from the national down to the state and local levels. In planning for cities and regions, both large and small, economic development issues now tend to be integrated into strategic planning processes. For at least the last 50 years, scholars from various disciplines have theorised about the nature of regional economic development, developing a range of models seeking to explain the process of regional economic development, and why it is that regions vary so much in their economic structure and performance and how these aspects of a region can change dramatically over time. Regional scientists in particular have developed a comprehensive tool-kit of methodologies to measure and monitor regional economic characteristics such as industry sectors, employment, income, value of production, investment, and the like, using both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis, and focusing on both static and dynamic analysis. The 'father of regional science', Walter lsard, was the first to put together a comprehensive volume on techniques of regional analysis (Isard 1960), and since then a huge literature has emerged, including the many titles in the series published by Springer in which this book is published.

Innovation has been shown to be a key factor in determining a country’s competitiveness and economic growth potential. Through investments in education and research and development, many developing countries have tried to avoid the “middle income trap” of stagnation by working to create high-value employment opportunities. To better understand country-level readiness to innovate, we have compiled a set of publicly available data indicators and created a data tool to illustrate innovation capabilities and infrastructure by country. Our approach builds on and advances existing national innovation metrics by constructing transparent, publicly sourced indicators that emphasize changes over time and interrelationships between different indicators, as opposed to creating simple indices across groups of indicators. This occasional paper is targeted to an applied audience, explaining the methods used to assemble the data, an overview of the indicators, practical applications of the data, summary statistics, and data limitations. The data are not intended to be a tool for providing answers about innovation, but rather a starting point for future work including market landscaping, country-level diagnostics, and qualitative protocols for research.
