Title: R&D, innovation and productivity
Abstract: This paper reviews various technological indicators from innovation 
	 inputs to innovation outputs, pointing out their strengths and 
	 weaknesses and the consequent caution that is in order when using these 
	 data for economic analysis. It briefly explains the theoretical link 
	 between innovation and productivity growth and then compares the 
	 estimated magnitudes of that relationship using the different innovation 
	 indicators.
