agricultural research funding in the public and private sector | |
|
overview These time series data for public and private funding of agricultural research and development cover the years 1970-98 (private) and 1970-2001 (public). Data are available either as nominal figures or corrected for inflation.Public numbers are based on data from two sources. Federal data are from the National Science Foundation’s Federal Funds for Research and Development series. Table 7 from the series presents Federal obligations for research and development, by agency. To prevent the double counting of money given to the states, funds for the Cooperative State Research Education and Extension Service were not included in the Federal total. The State-level data were taken from the Current Research Information Systems' "Inventory of Agricultural Research" publications, prior to 1993. CRIS stopped publishing the Inventory in 1997, and moved to a web-based reporting system that can be found on the CRIS home page. While the public numbers are from two different sources, each is a consistent series over the length of time that is needed to create this series. Private numbers and the research deflator are constructed by ERS, based on the methodology presented in "Private-Sector Agricultural Research Expenditures in the United States, 1960-92" (Staff Paper AGES9525). feature Various uses of R&D data and interpretation of trends are described in Agricultural Research and Development: Public and Private Investments Under Alternative Markets and Institutions data files
