OECD Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard 2009

Published every two years, the OECD Science, Technology and Industry (STI) Scoreboard brings together internationally comparable indicators in the area.  The 2009 edition was recently published.  Read the English language summary.  One bullet point of likely interest:
  • Historical data show that research and development (R&D) and venture capital are among the first expenditures to be cut during recessions in OECD countries. Preliminary data confirm this finding for the first half of 2009.

Assuming that the OECD has the aim to inform the public and especially policy (decision) makers; the wording "first expenditures to be cut" only supports misconceptions how the vc life cycle works.
