The latest data help look at what happened to R&D investments during the latest years of the global recession. Namely, gross domestic expenditures on R&D in the OECD area shrunk by 1.6% in real terms in 2009 and for the first time since 1993. The decrease is mainly driven by a sharp reduction of expenditure in business (-4.5%) in contrast to other sectors, particularly higher education (+4.8%), where R&D spending kept growing.
