In relation to the growing relevance of such issues, this study evaluates economic and technological performance of countries by discriminant analysis. The application is based on 34 countries for the 2000-2002 period. These results provide information on country risk, as well as on economic stability and growth. Some concluding remarks with a particular attention to the Italian country conclude the research.
