dc.description.abstractAs discussed in several editions of the Caribbean Economics Quarterly, the Caribbean has seen anemic growth, high volatility, and low productivity over the past few decades. This edition of the Caribbean Economics Quarterly focuses on innovation which has been proven to be a key driver of productivity growth across economies. The underlying dataset for the analysis is the Innovation, Firm Performance, and Gender (IFPG) Survey conducted by the Compete Caribbean Partnership Facility in 2020. The survey was administered to 1,979 formal firms across 13 Caribbean countries. The report summarizes information from the innovation chapter of the recently released IDB book Are We There Yet? The Path toward Sustainable Private Sector Development in the Caribbean, and it provides a unique country-specific perspective for each of the six countries of the IDBs Caribbean Department - The Bahamas, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago.
