The Inverted U-Shaped Relationship between Broadband Penetration and International R&D Collaboration

This dataset captures the relationship between Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and international R&D collaborations among 19 OECD countries over the period 2000 to 2015. The data likely includes various indicators of ICT development, such as broadband penetration, and measures of international R&D collaboration, typically quantified through patent data or co-invention records between countries. It is structured to explore the dynamics of ICT's influence on the formation and intensity of cross-border R&D collaborations, reflecting trends in technological development, innovation, and cooperation across these nations. Key attributes: - Time span: 2000-2015 - Geographical scope: 19 OECD countries - Primary variables: * ICT indicators: Broadband penetration) * R&D collaboration metrics: Number of international co-inventions * Technological fields: Specific industries or technology areas (e.g., electronics, pharmaceuticals, engineering)
