Research and development (R&D) in the national economy structure: international comparisons methodology

The article discusses the current problems of the methodology of international comparisons of the research and development (R&D) sector in the structure of the national economy. Research and development are those types of economic activity that reflect the evolution of the division of labor and gradually change labor itself, contributing to its synthesis with capital. The concept of identifying the knowledge production and distribution sector in the structure of the national economy by type of economic activity (“professional, scientific and technical activities”, “information and telecommunications”, “education”) is presented. The R&D sector is important but not the only component of the structure of knowledge production and distribution (along with education, training, media communications and information services sectors). The article reveals the main directions of international comparisons of the R&D sector in the structure of national economies: the R&D sector identification in the structure of economic activities and the institutional structure of the economy; assessment of the scale of production factors involved in the R&D sector, first of all, the “labor” factor; measuring the volume of financial flows of the R&D sector from relevant sources; determining the economic and social performance of the R&D sector and its contribution to the gross value added generated in the national economy. Cross-country comparisons of the role of the knowledge production and distribution sector in the created gross value added in the economies of Ukraine and some other countries for the period 2010-2016 are made. The author substantiates the need to make changes to the international and national Classifications of types of economic activity in order to further differentiate scientific research and development as an independent section of this Classifications. This will contribute to a clearer identification of the R&D sector in the structure of the national economy.
