The World Bank’s Knowledge Assessment Methodology (KAM : www.worldbank.org/kam) is an online interactive tool that produces the Knowledge Economy Index (KEI)–an aggregate index representing a country’s or region’s overall preparedness to compete in the Knowledge Economy (KE). The KEI is based on a simple average of four sub- indexes, which represent the four pillars of the knowledge economy:

1. Economic Incentive and Institutional Regime (EIR)
2. Innovation and Technological Adoption
3. Education and TrainingInformation and 
4. Communications Technologies (ICT) Infrastructure

The EIR comprises incentives that promote the efficient use of existing and new knowledge and the flourishing of entrepreneurship. An efficient innovation system made up of firms, research centers, universities, think tanks, consultants, and other organizations can tap into the growing stock of global knowledge, adapt it to local needs, and create new technological solutions. An educated and appropriately trained population is capable of creating, sharing, and using knowledge. A modern and accessible ICT infrastructure serves to facilitate the effective communication, dissemination, and processing of information.

Each of these pillar, or KEI sub-indexes, is based on three indicators 2that serve as proxies for the performance of that pillar (figure 1). For details, please refer to the KAM Users Guide.
