      abstract = {Growth in agriculture depends on many things but one of  the most important is investment in agricultural
research.  Decision making in the agricultural research policy area  can only be aided by access to better information.
This  article overviews a recent endeavor to move policy dialogue  beyond merely qualitative impressions towards a
process  that is underpinned with new and cogent data. The data used  have been assembled at ISNAR in a manner
designed to make  comparisons both over time and between countries more valid  than has been the case in the past.
The comparisons thus  possible reveal considerable diversity both between  countries and between broad regional
aggregations. Also  illuminated here are issues related to the commodity  orientation, capital and labor intensity, and
size and  scope of particular national programs.},
