Glossary:Institutional sector - R & D
Statistical units in the area of research and development (R&D) can be grouped by sector of the economy in order to facilitate the collection of data, the description of institutional flows of R&D funds and the analysis and interpretation of R&D data.
The definition of sectors for R&D surveys are largely based on the system of national accounts (SNA), with these differences that higher education has been established as a separate sector and households have been merged with the private non-profit sector. Here, as in the SNA, non-profit institutions (NPIs) have been distributed among sectors.
As a result, the following sectors can be distinguished:
