Abstract
The aim of this paper is to identify the main problems of comparison between countries and over time of the data on R&D performed in the services industries collected by Member countries and reported to OECD, given the recent rapid growth in their share of total R&D expenditures in the business enterprise sector.The degree to which national R&D surveys cover the service industries varies considerably. Some have made substantial efforts to extend this coverage recently in response both to national policy needs and to the implementation the revised OECD R&D questionnaire, notably concerning the computer services industry/software R&D. The coverage and classification of special R&D institutes continues to vary between countries. The coverage and quality of the data is clearly improving but considerable further progress will be needed before the R&D statistics for service industries can be used for integrated economic studies.Despite these variations in coverage, the data already ... Ce papier a pour objectif de recenser les principaux problèmes de comparaison entre pays et dans le temps lies aux données de recherche -- développement (R-D) dans le secteur des services recueillies par les pays Membres et communiquées à l’OCDE, étant donné leur poids croissent dans l’ensemble des dépenses de R-D du secteur des entreprises.La prise en considération de l’industrie des services dans les enquêtes nationales sur la R-D est extrêmement variable. Certains pays ont fait récemment des efforts considérables pour élargir le champ couvert, notamment dans le domaine de la R-D liée aux logiciels et aux activités informatiques, afin de répondre aux besoins des décideurs nationaux et de tenir compte de l’introduction du questionnaire révisé de l’OCDE. La prise en compte et la classification des instituts de R-D spécialisés continuent à varier d’un pays à l’autre. Le champ couvert par les données et leur qualité s’améliorent notablement, mais de nouveaux progrès importants ...
