Title: Using Innovation Surveys for Econometric Analysis
Abstract: After presenting the history, the evolution and the content of 
	 innovation surveys, we discuss the characteristics of the data they 
	 contain and the challenge they pose to the analyst and the 
	 econometrician. We document the two uses that have been made of these 
	 data: the construction of scoreboards for monitoring innovation and the 
	 scholarly analysis of various issue related to innovation. In particular 
	 we review the questions examined and the results obtained regarding the 
	 determinants, the effects, the complementarities, and the dynamics of 
	 innovation. We conclude by suggesting ways to improve the data 
	 collection and their econometric analysis.
