Analysis of actual government R&D
The analysis of actual government R&D expenditure data broken down in the German
systematic by funding areas and funding priorities shows a slightly different picture
than the GERD data analysis.
Although in both sources total government
expenditure has constantly increased since 1981; the total GERD (GOVERD+HERD) rate of
increase is much higher than the one of government expenditure according to the German
Leistungsplansystematik. The expenditure for agricultural research reported by the
German funding priorities has always been much lower than the GOVERD+HERD FOS 4
expenditure, but both timelines show increasing expenditure levels.
