Government Budget Allocations for R&D in Environment

Government Budget Allocations for R&amp;D (GBARD). GBARD data are measuring government support to research and development (R&amp;D) activities, and thereby provide information about the priority Governments give to different public R&amp;D funding activities. GBARD data are compiled using the guidelines laid out in the OECD Guidelines for collecting and reporting data on research and experimental development - Frascati Manual, OECD, 2015 (See related identifiers). GBARD data are broken down by: - Socio-economic objectives (SEOs) in accordance to the Nomenclature for the analysis and comparison of scientific programmes and budget. This dataset uses the Environment objective.<br> <br> The missing data are approximated, forecasted and backcasted by country. In our version of the dataset, 40% more countries, and a 23% larger dataset can be used for supervised and unsupervised learning models, such as machine learning, that require complete datasets compared to the source dataset released by Eurostat: GBARD by socioeconomic objectives (NABS 2007)[gba_nabsfin07]
