How to read this table
Table rows are categorized by country to track the individual dynamics of each nation over thirteen years. Comparing different series helps to understand the share of GDP allocated to R&D in Russia relative to Austria or Belarus. This indicator allows for an assessment of the intensity of scientific and technological development in regions and the level of national economic involvement in research activities
What is visible in these numbers
The five highest values: Belgium (3.41), Austria (3.26), Germany (3.17), Denmark (3.05), the Netherlands (2.32). The gap between the highest and lowest is 9.22 times. The top five account for 37.7% of the total sum across all positions
Observations are annual and cover 7 periods. Cells with numbers: 175 out of 175 (100%) — almost no empty cells remain
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2010 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur
