This problem is a UK government area of research interest (ARI) that was originally posted at https://ari.org.uk/ by a UK government organisation to indicate that they are keen to see research related to this area.
How can we effectively evaluate countries’ relative technology readiness levels (TRL), by technical area, sector and overall strategy? To what extent does the commercial, regulatory and legal environment impact on TRLs? To what extent can market access restrictions to some sectors have wider impacts on trade within other sectors?
The world’s production capability across different sectors may be best understood in terms of global supply chains, for example as R&D takes place in one country and manufacturing in another. Further evidence should inform classification of sectors, measurement of value-addition, and challenge assumptions in our understanding of supply chains.
