Notes

  1. 1.

    The NRC survey does not provide information on the dates when sales were realized. All sales values used in the correlation matrices that regression analyses that follow are based on nominal totals.

  2. 2.

    Approximately 3% of the businesses that commercialized their Phase II technologies had $0 sales as of the date of the NRC survey. Those projects were deleted from the least-squared analysis in Tables 8.7 and 8.8. We did include those companies that commercialized and had $0 sales in a Tobit model, but the regression model did not converge.
