  1. Research and development within thematic areas in 2021

    This report presents the resource allocation for research and development (R&D) across a total of ten thematic and two technological areas and their sub-areas for the year 2021.

  2. A new approach to estimating private returns to R&D

    This paper revisits the estimation of private returns to R&D. In an extension of the standard approach, we allow for endogeneity of production decisions, heterogeneity of R&D elasticities, and asymmetric treatment of intramural and extramural R&D.

  3. Every third researcher in Norwegian academia is an immigrant

    Immigrants made up 32 per cent of researchers and academic personnel in academia in 2021. Most of them had their background from Europe, while one in four were from Asia. About half of the researchers in natural sciences and engineering were people with an immigration background in 2021.

  10. Impact of R&D subsidies on firm performance i 2006-2020

    In this report, we provide an overview of the development of R&D and growth in enterprises that have been granted funding from the Research Council of Norway (RCN) during the period 2006 to 2020. Using regression analysis, we estimate the effects of financial support from the RCN on R&D intensity (i.e., research and development total expenditures per employee), number of employees, turnover and productivity.
