KEI and KI Indexes (KAM 2009)

By default, the table is sorted by the Knowledge Economy index (KEI) index. Click on the

icons to sort by other categories in ascending or descending order. Learn more about the KE indexes and pillars.

Countries may miss certain key variables - a pillar index is not calculated if more than one variable from the pillar is missing. Correspondingly, KEI/KI indexes are not calculated if any of the pillar indexes are missing.
