ANBERD (Analytical Business Enterprise Research and Development) database 2009

The Analytical Business Enterprise Research and Development database (ANBERD) was developed to provide a consistent data set that overcomes the problems of international comparability and breaks in the time series of official business enterprise R&D data (OFFBERD) provided to the OECD by its member countries through the joint OECD/Eurostat R&D survey. Through the use of established estimation techniques, the OECD Secretariat has created a database designed to provide analysts with comprehensive and internationally comparable time-series on industrial R&D expenditures. Since many of the data points are estimated, ANBERD data may differ from data published nationally.
