Statistics on research and development (R&D) are important indicators of innovation, the transfer of ideas and knowledge, which in turn are key drivers of economic growth and R&D expenditures are one indicator of the generation and diffusion of knowledge. A key aspect of the role of research and development in the process of economic growth is that it generates spillover benefits. Given the contribution of R&D to economic growth and, consequently, its role in policy decisions, NSF began to measure it in the 1950s. Although the idea of measuring R&D seems straightforward, there are complexities to carrying it out. To its credit, for more than 60 years NCSES (and its predecessors) has collected and produced consistent statistical tables and graphs on domestic R&D expenditures, producing the statistics in a timely fashion. Underlying the publication process are the efforts undertaken by the agency to overcome the complexities of definitions and various efforts to address issues such as missing data and international comparability. National Patterns of Research and Development Resources is a compendium of five annual surveys. Each publication in the series integrates and synthesizes the data from these periodic surveys of R&D expenditures by U.S. R&D performers in order to analyze current patterns of R&D activity in United States in relation to the historical record and to the reported R&D levels of other industrialized countries.<\/p>\n

The steering committee identified seven topics for presentations and subsequent
discussions at the workshop:
(1) the purposes and uses of National Patterns;
(2) advances in international comparability of the statistical outputs in National
Patterns;
(3) the nature and estimation of R&D expenditure data for nonprofit organizations;
(4) the benefits of collecting and reporting on additional variables relevant to R&D
funds;
(5) improving communication in National Patterns;
(6) potential methodological uses of administrative records for R&D estimation; and
(7) the use of small-area estimation techniques for estimating R&D amounts for small
domains such as states crossed with industrial categories.<\/p>\n
