Notes on Statistics
Gross Expenditure on R&D in 1997, 1998 and 1999 (as % GDP) published by OECD are compared. The order looks the same. OECD do not have data for all the years and for all OECD countries. Since their definition of R&D expenditure varies from definition by individual agencies, some differences are always expected.
