Statistics on R&D expenditure are used to measure who conducts research and in which domains or economic sectors, who
funds it, where it takes place, how cost items relate to each other, and how institutions and sectors collaborate with
each other. Expenditure statistics are used to inform the development of fiscal and financial incentives to stimulate
R&D activities, and to understand how R&D contributes to economic growth and societal well-being.
