Chile Data in Focus - Data Sources and Estimations

Data sources

Primary data were collected through three institutional survey rounds in 1997-1999 (jointly by IFPRI and ISNAR), 2007-2009, and 2013-2014 (under ASTI). These data were combined with data from a number of agency websites.

For additional secondary sources that were used to construct the pre-1996 data series, see data citations provided in Castelo Magalhães, Beintema, and Martinez (2002).

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.
