Data sources

Primary data were collected through seven institutional survey rounds in 1984, 1993-1994 (under ISNAR’s “Indicators Series Project”), 2003-2004, 2008-2009, 2012-2013, 2015-2016, and 2017-2018 (under ASTI). These data were combined with a number of secondary data sources:

AET-Africa (Agricultural Education and Training in Africa). 2010. Hawassa University institutional profile.
http://www.aet-africa.org/?p=institution&s=display_&institution_id=26 Accessed May 24, 2010.

Mekele University. 2010a. College of Dryland Agriculture and Natural Resources.
http://www.mu.edu.et/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=468&Itemid=97. Accessed May 24, 2010.

For additional secondary sources that were used to construct the pre-1991 data series, see appendix and reference list in Roseboom, Beintema, and Pardey (1994) Download PDF.

Estimation procedures

  • For a number of agencies, research staff and expenditure data were missing for certain years. These have been interpolated or in a few cases extrapolated.
  • Expenditures for the higher-education agencies are estimates based on the average expenditures per researcher for the government agencies.
  • Salaries and living expenses of many expatriate researchers working on donor-supported projects at the (often main) agricultural research agencies are paid directly by their respective agency. The average implicit costs of expatriate R&D staff were calculated in the early 1990s (see Appendix 2 in Roseboom, Beintema, and Pardey 1994), and have been extrapolated to more recent years using salary averages of a few CGIAR centers.
