In the table, subsidiaries are company-owned units located outside the United States. Although all estimates include an adjustment to the weight to account for unit nonresponse, the estimates for domestic R&D paid by subsidiaries abroad do not include item imputation. Caution should be used when comparing the subsidiaries’ estimates to other estimates presented in the table. NOTES: Detail may not add to total due to rounding. Industry classification is based on the dominant business code for domestic R&D performance, where available. For companies that did not report business codes, the classification used for sampling was assigned. Statistics pertain to companies located in the United States that performed or funded R&D.
