Activities of research and development (R&D) and the economic development

Abstract

In this work the author makes a comparison between some indicators used to measure the national effort spent in research and development (R&D) and the values of the same indicators obtained in the case of the industrialized countries and of some developing countries. At the end he draws several conclusions about the need of an increase in the national effort in R&D, suggesting the creation
of a mechanism that will lead and direct the action displayed in that domain.
