Private and Public: An overview of RD&D investments in the Power Sector

In this paper we make an explicit effort to collect, harmonize and describe data on power-related R&D from both the public and the private sector for a sample of 16 countries over the years 1995-2007. We focus on the upstream energy sector (power) due to both its’ relevance for energy security concerns and future climate policy in both in developed and in developing countries as well as to the complexities of the data collection procedure and the nature of the available statistics.
