The indicator "technological affinity" displays the output in economic activities of a given region.
The indicator is benchmarked across ESPON space, as data availability allows. Gross value added approximates the value of goods and services produced in a given geographical dimension (in this case NUTS-3) over a defined timeperiod. The composite indicator reflects the gross value added of knowledge intensive services and industries in a given area.
The synthetic indicator is composed of several sub-indicators which are individually picking up characteristics of the overall territorial dimensions in the framework of knowledge-intensive economic activities. The indicator is calculated in the following manner:
GVA_(i,t)=1/2*Y_(i,t)+1/2*E_(i,t)
In which the variable Y_(i,t) represents normalised gross value added by knowledge intensive industries in region i and at time t, Analogously, E_(i,t) represents normalised employment in a given region i and at time t. Each of the variables are normalised in the following manner, across the programme region and across ESPON Space. The individual values are scaled up by a factor of 100 to aid with the ease of interpretation.
