Shows (SSTI Weekly Digest)
Dramatic increases in research and development (R&D) investments
during the past decade, largely from industry, have contributed
to U.S. standing as a global economic power, according to

in R&D investments in 1999, an increase of nearly $33

accounts for 44 percent of the total worldwide investment
in R&D - an amount equal to the combined total of Japan,
the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany and Italy.
