Abstract
Abstract This paper presents a brief analysis of the current innovative capabilities of Georgia based on the Europe-Central Asia Innovative Capability Indicator ECAICI. This composite indicator is constructed using factor analysis tools. Research reveals that innovative processes in the Europe-Central Asia ECA region by the World Bank classification are mainly affected by four unobservable factors knowledge creation economic sophistication knowlege absorption-diffusion and human capital production. We show that the ECAICI is closely related to other well-known innovation indicators and to GDP per capita. The ECAICI was used to analyze the innovative capability dynamics during 1996-2010. This study serves as an illustration for the use of the ECAICI as an instrument for innovative capability assessment and analysis in Georgia and other post-USSR countries
