Uruguay Data in Focus - Data Sources and Estimations

Data sources

Primary data were collected through two institutional survey rounds in 1997-1999 (jointly by IFPRI and ISNAR) and 2007-2009 (under the ASTI initiative).

For additional secondary sources that were used to construct the pre-1996 data series, see data citations provided in Beintema, Hareau, Bianco, and Pardey (2000). www.ifpri.org/sites/default/files/publications/grp01_uruguay.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.
