re: So it shows the US as the 2nd most competitive economy in the world and the most competitive large economy.

not only that but also that there are only 2 large countries in top 10 and only one (US) in top 8. That is an outstanding ranking for US. Though I am not sure how valid that study is since it places Finland as number 1 with it's government spendings of 60% of gdp (1995).

also the study is very biased:

2. position: ”European Patents per million population”, Finland 265
(year 1999)
- Sweden 1. Position 289
- EU average 125

6. position: ”US patents per million population”, Finland 135
(year 1999)
- US 312, Japan 248, Sweden 171, Germany 122, Luxembourg 64
- EU average 69


European Patents for Finland is 265 but if you look at US patents then there is totally different story there....not even speaking of absolute patents (not per Mil)
