Release date: 2004-02-12 - 42. Estimation of research and development expenditures in the higher education sector, 2001-2002 ArchivedStats in brief: 88-001-X20040017871Description:
The higher education sector is composed of "all universities, colleges of technology and other institutes of post-secondary education, whatever their source of finance or legal status. It also includes all research institutes, experimental stations and clinics operating under the direct control of, or administered by, or associated with higher education establishments"1 The higher education sector is one of the sectors that make up the national research and development (R&D) system. For most policy analysis, the R&D system is sub-divided into five performing sectors: the federal government, provincial governments, business enterprise, higher education, and private non-profit. It is also sub-divided into six funding sectors: the five above plus all foreign sources.

Release date: 2004-01-28 - 44. Estimation of Research and Development Expenditures in the Higher Education Sector, 2001 - 2002 ArchivedArticles and reports: 88F0006X2004002Description:
This publication explains the estimation procedures used to calculate 2001/02 research and development (R&D) expenditures in the Higher Education sector. The Higher Education Research and Development (HERD) performance figures are estimated using a new technique that was developed in 2000 and first applied to the 1998/99 data. It assumes that the total expenditures on HERD are equal to the sum of
a) sponsored research (available from Canadian Association of University Business Officers [CAUBO] sources)b) an estimate of indirect expenditures on sponsored researchc) a value for the fraction of faculty time devoted to sponsored and non-sponsored researchd) an estimate of indirect expenditures related to faculty time on researche) teaching hospitals data not included in CAUBO data.
Release date: 2004-01-28 - Articles and reports: 88F0006X2004003Description:
This publication presents the national gross domestic expenditures on research and development (GERD) from 1992 to 2003, as well as the provincial GERD from 1992 to 2001. Up until 1985, GERD only included research and development (R&D) expenditures in the Natural Sciences and Engineering (NSE) field. Beginning in 1985, Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) activities have also been included in GERD. An additional series of tables showing R&D expenditures at the national level in either science from 1963 to 1991, or at the provincial level from 1979 to 1991, may be obtained from the Science and Innovation Surveys Section of the Science, Innovation and Electronic Information Division.
Release date: 2004-01-28 - Articles and reports: 88F0006X2004004Description:
These notes capture some of the presentations and the subsequent discussions that took place during the meeting of Statistics Canada's Science, Innovation and Electronic Information Division. For two full days, over 20 people talked about innovation from different perspectives and sought common understanding of the issues and consensus on where work on the subject should take the form of medium or longer terms. The meeting had a Canadian bias as it was part of the foresight progam of the Science, Innovation and Electronic Information Division, but it would not have been as productive had Jan Fagerberg not been able to join the group and share the work of the Towards a European Area of Research and Innovation (TEARI) project, which he leads. The meeting was further enriched by the insights gained as members of different communities of discourse exchanged their knowledge and arrived at common conclusions.
Release date: 2004-01-26 - 47. Starting the New Century: Technological Change in the Canadian Private Sector, 2000-2002 ArchivedArticles and reports: 88F0006X2004001Description:
Technological changes are occurring at home, work and play. In the workplace, change occurs in how business is conducted, its production processes and office procedures and much of this change is related to the introduction of new or significantly improved technologies. This paper is based on information from the 2002 Survey of Electronic Commerce and Technology (SECT) (see the Appendix) and concentrates on the acquisition of significantly improved technologies in the private sector. The private sector and its two major subsectors, the goods producing and services producing sectors, are presented by employment-size groups. The technological change rates by major sector are also provided.
Technological change in the workplace includes the seemingly simple purchases of off-the-shelf technologies such as accounting software; colour printers with double-sided printing and facsimile capabilities; and sophisticated medical diagnostic machines and equipment. Acquisition of new or significantly improved technologies is not limited to purchases, but also includes leasing and licensing as well as customizing and developing technologies. Another technology acquisition method, which could incorporate all of the other technology acquisition methods, is 'putting into place an improved production facility' by, for example, retro-fitting pulp and paper mills. At the turn of the new century, the Canadian private sector is not resisting the lure of change - 4 out of 10 private sector firms introduced technological change from 2000 to 2002.

Release date: 2004-12-10 - Articles and reports: 11F0024M20040007457Description:
The Canadian economy is characterized by the size of the service sector. Elsewhere, the research and development (R&D) activity contributes to the growth of the economy. Paradoxically, R&D is sometime considered as an activity performed by the manufacturing sector. This article sheds light on the importance of efforts dedicated to R&D in the business services sector.
Release date: 2004-11-25 - Stats in brief: 88-001-X20040117852Description:
This bulletin presents recent information on the performance and funding of Federal government expenditures on scientific activities, 2004-2005. The statistics presented are derived from the survey of science and technology (S&T) activities of federal departments and agencies. The data in this publication are consistent with expenditures of departments and agencies as reported in the Main Estimates 2004-2005, but do not reflect changes to 2004-2005 spending plans which may result from supplementary estimates or other departmental planning decisions.

Release date: 2004-11-23 - 6. Estimation of Research and Development Expenditures in the Higher Education Sector, 2002-2003 ArchivedArticles and reports: 88F0006X2004019Description:
This publication is an explanation of the estimation procedures used to calculate 2002-2003 research and development (R&D) expenditures in the higher education sector. This estimation procedure was revised in 2000 as R&D activities in the higher education sector have increased in importance to policy developers, major funders of these activities, and also to the performing institutions themselves. In 2002-2003 the R&D expenditures for higher education were estimated to total $7.4 billion, an increase of 16% over 2001-2002 revised estimates.
