Abstract: Vivimos en un tiempo caracterizado por una profunda transformación \ntecnológica dentro de economías que operan a escala global. En este contexto, \nla innovación aparece como un factor clave para la mejora de las condiciones \nproductivas de un sistema económico, que en el caso europeo, es fundamental \npara mejorar la competitividad de las economías de la zona. \nEste trabajo indaga sobre la vinculación entre gasto en innovación y nivel \nde renta en quince países europeos, estudiándose la existencia de grupos de \nnaciones que presentan pautas similares de gasto en I+D+i. Para ello, se han \nutilizado tanto el análisis de correlaciones como el quick cluster.______________________________________________We are living a time in which the economies are operating on a global scale \nand are affected by an intense technological change. In this context, innovation \nemerges as a key factor to enhance the productivity in the economic systems. \nThis variable becomes fundamental for increasing the competitiveness of \nEuropean economies. \nThis paper inquires into the link between investment in innovation and \nincome level in 15 European countries, not only studying each of them, but \nalso trying to find groups with similar spending patterns of behaviour. It has \nbeen taken into account variables such as the level and composition of R&D \noutlays, the proportion of this investment into the GDP and how much of it is \nspent by Public Sector. Correlation analysis and quick cluster have been the \nstatistical tools used to undertake this task.
