This is another interesting time series, now we have displayed the Gross domestic Expenditure on R&D (GERD) and the total Government budget allocations for R&D (GBARD), both as a percentage of the GDP. We included the president of each adminstration, starting from Luis Echeverr?a, during the 70s, to the first years of Enrique Peña Nieto (EPN).
It is important to mention that during the administration of EPN there was a change in the methodology for the calculation of the expenditure on R&D, so last years of the time serie must be taken with care. They included the expenditure on postgraduate studies.
