Teresa Maria Gamito, Lívia Madureira · 2019 · Regional Science Policy & Practice

Summary. Standard innovation indicators miss rural innovation because they focus on high-tech and R&D-intensive activities. This paper develops a comprehensive indicator system designed specifically to capture innovation in rural organizations, including small-scale and low-tech innovations. Applied to Portugal, the system reveals distinct innovation patterns in rural areas that matter for competitiveness in traditional sectors and regional vitality.
