ABSTRACT. The paper explores the relation between
two data sources (R&D and CIS surveys) in the aim of better representing the
roles of R/D activity in relation with innovation processes. This paper starts
with controlling the relation between the R/D expenditure in the two surveys
(R&D and CIS) for a same group of firms and for the same year (2000) and deals
with the question of how much we know at present of the different components of
the industrial R/D activity and how we can use the frame of the two surveys for
arriving to gain this knowledge. The final aim is that of getting finest grained
indicators for studies on the impact of industrial investment on R/D.
