The Research and Development Expenditures and Subsidies, Firm Productivity, Employment Creation and Survival study includes four datasets on firm Research and Development compiled from Office for National Statistics business datasets also held separately by the UK Data Archive. The four study datasets are:Research and Development and firm employment creationResearch and Development and firm productivitysubsidies and Research and Development expendituresResearch and Development and firm survivalAll four datasets contain data on UK firms from 1997 to 2012 across all sectors. The employment-related dataset and the productivity-related dataset were both obtained by merging the Business Expenditure on Research and Development database (BERD) (SN 6690) and the Annual Respondents Database (ARD) (SN 6644)/Annual Business Survey (ABS) (SN 7451). Both files contain data on different types of Research and Development expenditures and firm level indicators such as: capital stock, knowledge capital stock and full-time equivalent employment. The files also include knowledge spillover indicators. The employment-related dataset also includes wages and sector level indicators such as the Herfindahl index and Pavitt classes. The subsidies-related dataset and survival-related datasets were both obtained by merging the BERD database and the Business Structure Database (BSD) (SN 6697). The files contain data on demographic variables and different types of Research and Development expenditures. Firm level indicators such as the Herfindahl index and Pavitt classes are also included. The subsidies-related dataset also includes data on salaries and on the sources of Research and Development funding (from central government and EU sources).
