Why has Britain had slower R&D growth?

Article Abstract:

The United Kingdom's Research and Development slow growth compared to highly industrialised countries is examined. The Organization on Economic Cooperation and Development's 1973-1992 figures for Business Enterprise R&D provide the data for analysis. Results reveal no definite factors of demand growth, government policies or knowledge spillovers to explain UK's slow growth in R&D. Further studies are suggested on the fiscal, education and training elements of UK's R&D growth.
