摘要：

Financial data from 91 of the top 100 U.S. companies that invested in R&D during 2004 and 2003 were examined, including the relationship between these companies' sales, profits, growth rates, capital investments, and number of employees. This resulted in two linear equations that provide a high degree of correlation with the data and can be used to estimate R&D investment levels for companies about which that is unknown. The first of these calculates current-year R&D based on previous-year R&D, company size, and capital expenditures. The second, much simpler model, predicts current-year R&D from previous-year R&D. This simpler model may be driven by the relatively static financial years 2002-2004 from which data were analyzed.
