Multilevel Cost-Benefit Assessment Framework for Innovation in the Wine Sector

This dataset contains the Multilevel Cost-Benefit Assessment Framework for Innovation in the Wine Sector, developed within WP10 – Enhancing sustainable competitiveness of the wine industry through smart green innovations, as part of the Vine & Wine Portugal – Driving Sustainable Growth through Smart Innovation project, in partnership with the Centre for Transdisciplinary Development Studies (CETRAD) The dataset provides a structured set of assessment elements for the multidimensional analysis of costs, benefits, impacts, and externalities associated with innovation in the wine sector. The framework is organised into six analytical categories: Economic Indicators; Environmental Indicators; Social Indicators; Operational Indicators; Innovation Indicators; and Synthetic Indicators. For each assessment element, the dataset provides its designation, description, and associated measurement or reference information. The framework comprises indicators and other methodological assessment elements, including metrics, indices, analytical methods, and valuation approaches, reflecting the multidimensional nature of cost-benefit assessment. The framework was developed from a bibliographic review conducted within the Vine & Wine Portugal – Driving Sustainable Growth through Smart Innovation project. Scientific publications retrieved from the Scopus and Web of Science databases were reviewed to identify, select, and organise indicators and other methodological assessment elements relevant to the analysis of costs, benefits, impacts, and externalities associated with innovation. The resulting assessment elements were consolidated and structured into the six analytical categories represented in the dataset. The framework is intended to support the systematic and multilevel assessment of innovation by integrating economic, environmental, social, operational, innovation, and synthetic dimensions. It may also provide a methodological basis for decision-support processes and tools. The deposited resource corresponds specifically to the Multilevel Cost-Benefit Assessment Framework. The Sustainable Competitiveness Composite Index, developed as a distinct methodological component of the project, is outside the scope of this dataset.
