Data-driven innovation : big data for growth and well-being

"This report focuses on digital data and analytics and their effects on innovation, growth and well-being. It aims to improve the evidence bases on the role of data-driven innovation (DDI) in boosting productivity growth and contributing to well-being. It also offers policy guidance for maximizing the benefits of DDI and mitigating the associated economic and societal risks. The insights in the report are intended to help policy makers better understand DDI, incorporate its multidimensionality into policy design and 'identify trade-offs, complementarities and unintended consequences of policy choices.' This report contributes to the goal of building and maintaining 'resilient economies and inclusive societies' while enhancing the productivity and competitiveness of industries, as articulated in the OECD Ministerial Council Statements of 2014 and 2015"--Foreword
