ANBERD (Analytical Business Enterprise Research and Development) database 2005/6

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 the official business enterprise R&D provided to the OECD by its Member countries through the OECD's R&D survey. Through the use of established estimation techniques, the OECD Secretariat has created a database for 19 of the largest R&D performing countries, as well as for the European Union zone. The database is designed to provide analysts with comprehensive and internationally comparable time-series on industrial R&D expenditures.
