Title: Empirical studies of innovation in the knowledge driven economy
Abstract: This introduction to a special issue of EINT surveys a collection of ten 
	 papers that study various aspects of innovation and knowledge management 
	 and their impact on performance at the firm level for a number of 
	 countries. These studies have been conducted using data drawn from 
	 innovation surveys combined with data from a number of other sources. 
	 The issue illustrates the value of these surveys in improving our 
	 understanding of innovation in firms and raises a number of questions 
	 for future work in this area.
