Analysis & Metadata
Analysis:
On average, national spending on research and development decreased by 0.3% per year across the EU27 in the last ten years (of available data).Projection:
If the next decade is like the previous one, national spending on research and development will be around 1.3 percent of government spending by 2030 across the EU27. Data timeline: 2000 – 2020
Data treatment:
- This data has been parsed by a linear regression algorithm in order to complete any missing data with a likely statistical approximation (countries may be missing data for certain years for any number of reasons, see original source) and to produce statistical projections for the near future.
- The EU27 average has been weighted in accordance with GDP data.
- This projection assumes the impact of Covid-19 will be similar to an accelerated version of the Great Recession (replicating the changes in the data between 2007 and 2013 to the years 2020, 2021 and 2022).
