Production and Trade of Knowledge- and Technology-Intensive Industries
This report examines production and trade of knowledge- and technology-intensive industries. These industries consist of high and medium-high R&D-intensive industries. In the high R&D-intensive industries, the United States is the largest global producer of any single country and has a strong position in two of these industries — manufacturing of aircraft and publishing ( including software ) . In the medium-high R&D-intensive industries, China is the largest producer closely followed by the United States. This report also examines artificial intelligence technologies that are predicted to have widespread economic and so...

The State of U.S. Science and Engineering 2020
This report covers trends in and the relative global position of the U.S. S&E enterprise, including education, workforce, R&D, industry output, and innovation. Data show mixed trends. The United States continues to perform the most R&D, award the most S&E doctoral degrees, and account for significant numbers of S&E research articles and citations worldwide. However, growth of S&E capabilities in other nations, particularly China, has outpaced that of the United States along several dimensions. The United States has seen its relative share of global S&T activity flatten or decline, even as its absolute activity levels kept ...

Academic Research and Development
This report examines R&D performed by U.S. higher education institutions. It discusses funding by source and S&E field for R&D activities and equipment and provides information on research space. Academic R&D has grown every year since 1975 and remains focused on basic research. Most of it is performed by a small percentage of U.S. higher education institutions. The federal government funds over half of academic R&D, although institutional support represents an increasing share. Growth in research space has largely been in biological and biomedical sciences, while equipment expenditures are similar to those a decade ago. (...

Research and Development : U.S. Trends and International Comparisons
This report identifies trends in R&D performance and funding and compares them to those of the world ' s other major economies. The U.S. annual total of R&D has expanded steadily since 2010 ( totaling $ 548 billion in 2017 ) , mostly due to sizable annual increases in business R&D performance. In 2017, the United States remained the world ' s top R&D performer. However, the global concentration of R&D continues to shift from the United States and Europe to South Asia and East-Southeast Asia.
