Features of methodological tools for assessing the innovation security level of countries

Abstract

The article examines the issues of assessing the innovation security level of the world's countries. It is proved that it is an objective quantitative assessment of the innovation component state in the structure of economic security that makes it possible to identify threats and security risks in a timely manner. The authors have proposed and tested two methodological approaches to measuring the innovation security level, namely, the method of data envelopment analysis and the method of multidimensional assessment. The tools of the DEA made it possible to assess the level of efficiency of national innovation systems in the EU countries, classify innovation systems by the level of efficiency, and calculate the overall level of technological efficiency. Using multidimensional assessment tools, an integrated index of innovation security is proposed, the calculation of which allowed ranking the EU countries by the level of innovation development. The calculation of the limit values of innovation indicators included in the index model allowed grouping the EU countries according to the state of innovation security.
