The Global Innovation Index (GII) measures various aspects of the innovation ecosystem in countries and is widely used as the data source to analyze national innovation competence. While various studies work on different perspectives of GII, this study fills the research gap to focus on the elements of Innovation Input and Innovation Output. Through fuzzy sets/Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) analysis of multiple years of data, it identifies two types of solutions: a combination of all the antecedents except MS, and a combination of all antecedents for both outcomes, i.e., Knowledge and technology outputs (KTO) and Creative outputs (CO), respectively. The findings provide GII insights to justify the selection of the variables.

GII内部结构配置分析

全球创新指数（GII）衡量各国创新生态系统的各个方面，被广泛用作分析国家创新能力的数据源。虽然各种研究从不同的角度研究 GII，但本研究填补了关注创新投入和创新产出要素的研究空白。通过对多年数据的模糊集/定性比较分析（fsQCA）分析，它确定了两种类型的解决方案：除MS之外的所有前因的组合，以及两种结果的所有前因的组合，即知识和技术输出（分别是 KTO）和创意产出（CO）。研究结果提供了 GII 见解，以证明变量选择的合理性。
