What is the Knowledge Economy Index (KEI)?
The Knowledge Economy Index (KEI) measures a country’s ability to generate, adopt and diffuse knowledge and also whether the environment is conducive for knowledge to be used effectively for economic development. It is an aggregate index that represents the overall level of development of a country or region in the Knowledge Economy, and summarizes performance over the 4 KE pillars. The KEI is constructed as the simple average of the 4 pillar indexes in the KAM.
