17 Policy Needs, OECD, Paris. The evidence on these indicators is available at a Scotland level with comparable international data available. These indicators tend to show that while Scotland exceeds UK, OECD and EU comparators on higher education and government spend on R&D, it falls fairly far behind in terms of business R&D spend as a proportion of GDP (with the UK as a whole also falling behind in OECD and EU comparators on business R&D ( BERD) spend). See for example statistics on R&D in Scotland available on the Scottish Government website: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Statistics/Browse/Business/BERD and analysis in the statistical annex to the Strategic Framework for Science in Scotland (2008)
