Useful Stats: R&D Intensity for All 50 States
Due to a number of requests from SSTI Weekly Digest readers, we have prepared the accompanying table presenting the 1998 "R&D Intensity" rankings for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. R&D Intensity is considered a state's total R&D performance as a percentage of the Gross State Product. Readers' requests came as a result of an April 6, 2001 SSTI Weekly Digest article on a recent Issue Brief from the National Science Foundation, R&D Spending is Highly Concentrated in A Small Number of States. Figures for only the top ten states were provided in the Issue Brief.
