The ANalytical Business Enterprise Research and Development database (ANBERD) was developed to provide analysts with comprehensive and internationally comparable data on industrial R&D expenditures that address 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. The ANBERD database includes a number of estimations and is published under the responsibility of the Secretary General of the OECD as it does not represent Member countries’ official submissions of business enterprise R&D data.

The ANBERD database presents industrial R&D expenditure data broken down in 60 manufacturing and services sectors for OECD countries and selected non-member economies. The reported data are in ISIC Revision 3.1, start from 1987 and are expressed in national currencies as well as in PPP US dollars, both at current and constant prices. The data are updated continuously on a rolling basis in order to release the tables as new data are collected.
