摘要：Vivimos en un tiempo caracterizado por una profunda transformación tecnológica dentro de economías que operan a escala global. En este contexto, la innovación aparece como un factor clave para la mejora de las condiciones productivas de un sistema económico, que en el caso europeo, es fundamental para mejorar la competitividad de las economías de la zona. Este trabajo indaga sobre la vinculación entre gasto en innovación y nivel de renta en quince países europeos, estudiándose la existencia de grupos de naciones que presentan pautas similares de gasto en I+D+i. Para ello, se han utilizado tanto el análisis de correlaciones como el quick cluster.
其他摘要：We are living a time in which the economies are operating on a global scale and are affected by an intense technological change. In this context, innovation emerges as a key factor to enhance the productivity in the economic systems. This variable becomes fundamental for increasing the competitiveness of European economies. This paper inquires into the link between investment in innovation and income level in 15 European countries, not only studying each of them, but also trying to find groups with similar spending patterns of behaviour. It has been taken into account variables such as the level and composition of R&D outlays, the proportion of this investment into the GDP and how much of it is spent by Public Sector. Correlation analysis and quick cluster have been the statistical tools used to undertake this task.
