Abstract: In a recent contribution, Mansfield (Mansfield, Edwin. 1987. Price indexes for R and D inputs, 1969--1983. Management Sci. 33(January) 124--129.) published a R&D deflator for American industrial R&D expenditures. A similar deflator is presented here for German industrial R&D expenditures. It is shown that both indexes are closely related to R&D employment. They can also be used to evaluate the relative costs of spending on R&D between countries.
