| Popis: | The R&D Intensity (RI) indicator is widely used by analysts and policymakers as a proxy of a country's commitment to research and development (R&D), international comparisons, and goal setting. However, many researchers believe that this indicator is not only reflecting R&D commitment, but also the industrial structure in which R&D was carried out. It is believed that calculating a separate RI for each industrial class will reveal a more representative indication of the focus of a country in that particular class. In this study, the disaggregated R&D Intensity was named “Class-RI”. Validation type analyses were conducted on Class-RI to find out if it’s associated with certain logical output measures such as the Value Added to production. The study demonstrated the effectiveness of the disaggregated indicator and revealed some promising results that can support its use in scholarly research. |
