Abstract

The author explores the notion of knowledge-based economy and, using one definition as her point of departure, undertakes an attempt to provide an econometric proof showing that some countries actually are moving towards a knowledge-based economy. The author also identifies factors employed by countries in the process. Such countries meet essential criteria of macroeconomic stability and, above all, ensure satisfactory quality of public institutions (in the realm of economy and politics). Enabling factors for a knowledge- based economy include high quality of human capital (provided that conditions are in place to make a productive use of this capital) and high quality of information systems.
