Abstract
|
Businesses perform a large share of their research and development in a small number of geographic areas, two of the largest being the San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland combined statistical area (CSA) and the New York-Newark-Bridgeport CSA, according to data from the Business R&D and Innovation Survey (BRDIS). This finding is based on data reported by the subset of all BRDIS respondents known to have performed $3 million or more of R&D in the United States in any of the 4 years preceding 2008 (hereafter referred to as large-R&D companies). Although estimates of the total amount of business R&D performed in each metropolitan area are not yet available, data are available for large-R&D companies, which account for the majority of R&D performed in the United States. In 2008 a total of 2,370 of these large-R&D companies responded to new questions in BRDIS asking companies to report the address of their largest R&D location in the United States and the amount of R&D performed at that location.
