Gross domestic expenditures on research and development — In current dollars, in 2007 constant dollars and as a percentage of gross domestic product
Table summary
This table displays Canada's gross domestic expenditures on research and development and gross domestic product, as well as the ratio of these two indicators. The row headers provide data for 11 years including preliminary and intention data for the two most current years. The gross domestic product implicit price index column separates the current dollars and constant 2007 dollars sections. The first and second columns present data in millions of dollars for the gross domestic expenditures on research and development plus the gross domestic product. The third column has percentage data for the gross domestic expenditure on research and development as a percentage of gross domestic product. The fourth column has the gross domestic implicit price index for 2007 which is applied to the current expenditure data and produces the constant dollar results for gross domestic expenditures on research and development in millions of dollars. There are three footnotes. The first footnote provides the CANSIM table for gross domestic product, the second footnote provides the CANSIM table for the 2007 gross domestic implicit price index. The third footnote states the gross domestic expenditure on research and development data are deflated by the gross domestic product implicit price index. A note indicates that components may not add to totals due to rounding. A second note explains that performing sector data for the private non-profit sector are only available at the Canada level starting in the year 2000. The third note states that the business enterprise sector's research and development expenditure distribution by source of funds is modelled.

Gross domestic expenditure on research and development data are deflated by the gross domestic product implicit price index.
Note(s):
Components may not add to totals due to rounding. The private non-profit (PNP) sector appears in both the performing and funding sector for the gross domestic expenditure on research and development (GERD) for Canada. Commencing with reference year 2000 the data for the private non-profit sector performing research and development are not distributed by provinces or territories. The national totals of research and development by performing sector include the PNP sector. The data for the private non-profit sector funding research and development continue to be distributed by provinces and territories. The provincial and territorial distribution by sources of funds of the business enterprise sector R&D expenditures is derived through a modeling system, which prorates values based on reported business enterprise provincial and territorial R&D.
