The European Union member states’ innovation in context of social factor importance

Summary/Abstract: The goal of paper is to demonstrate the role of social factor in context of economy’s innovativeness. In subject literature innovativeness is usually examined with respect to the expenditure (input) measures and to the effects of R + D activities, but importance of social factor is somewhat rarely included. Such factor can contribute to the valuable domestic environment creation process, which facilitates knowledge absorption and diffusion, innovation process intensification, and commercialization of R + D results. In paper literature and statistical data analyze methods have been used. The results have shown that social factor, analyzed based on Human Development Index, Corruption Perception Index and Interpersonal Safety and Trust Index, has positive impact on innovation economy, and possible exceptions are attributable to the specific features of given economic-social system.
