The ANBERD (Analytical Business Enterprise Research and Development) database was developed to provide a consistent data set that addresses the problems of international comparability and breaks in the time series of the official business enterprise R&D provided to the OECD by its member countries through the OECD/Eurostat R&D survey. Through the use of established estimation techniques, the OECD Secretariat has created a database for 29 OECD countries and 9 non-member economies which provides analysts with comprehensive time-series on industrial R&D expenditures.
