The OECD has developed a detailed database on R&D tax incentives provided by governments to encourage business investment in research and development. This database tracks the key design features and costs of R&D tax incentives across OECD and partner countries based on annual surveys of national experts. The surveys find that most countries offer tax credits or allowances for R&D expenditures, with volume-based tax credits being the most common form of support. Analysis of the data shows that R&D tax incentives have increased in importance relative to direct government funding of business R&D in many countries since 2000.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

The OECD has developed a detailed database on R&D tax incentives with the latest
information provided by national experts on the cost and key design features of R&D
tax incentives in the annual OECD R&D tax incentive survey.

Note: The “median OECD+ tax incentive” reflects the median characteristics of R&D tax incentive schemes available in OECD and partner economies (Brazil, China, Russian
Federation and South Africa) as of July 2015. If the analysis is limited to OECD countries, the median “OECD tax incentive” further includes the cost of acquiring software,
licences and IP rights as eligible R&D expenditure. Some countries have more than one separately identified incentive scheme.

The design of R&D tax incentives influences the "expected" generosity of tax relief per
additional unit of R&D investment. Across OECD and partner economies providing tax relief,
there is a significant variation in tax subsidy rates for firms of different size and profitability. The
OECD median tax subsidy rate is estimated at 0.19 for profitable and of 0.13 for loss-making
SMEs, above the OECD median of 0.13 for large profitable firms and of 0.10 for large loss-
making enterprises. This result is attributable to the preferential tax treatment that currently only
12 out of OECD countries provide for SMEs or young firms vis-à-vis large firms.

Since 2000 , several OECD countries such as France, Japan, the Netherlands and the
United Kingdom have increased their reliance on R&D tax incentives as a mechanism for
supporting business R&D, sometimes displacing direct forms of support. However, this trend
has not been uniform. The relative importance of tax incentives declined briefly during the crisis
in many economies, reflecting the demand-led nature of tax relief and its dependence on profits.

Government funding of business R&D seeks to encourage companies to invest in
R&D and raise the level of business R&D investment. There is a sizeable correlation
between R&D intensity in the business sector and total government support for
business R&D can be observed across OECD countries and partner economies, with
some notable exceptions, however. Germany and Finland, for instance, have relatively
high business R&D intensity compared to the degree of public support. This correlation,
while not necessarily implying a causal relationship, provides a first indication of the
possible impact of government funding on business R&D.

MicroBERD
The OECD has launched a new micro-data project based on a “distributed”
approach to empirical analysis of confidential micro-data. The project investigates and
models the incidence and impact of public support for business R&D in collaboration
with national experts with access to R&D and public support micro-data. This approach
facilitates a co-ordinated statistical analysis of the impact of tax incenitve design
features and their interaction with direct forms of public R&D funding by exploiting
variation in support within and across countries. This project is partly funded by the
European Union's Horizon 2020 Programme.

R&D tax incentives have become a key policy instrument in several OECD countries and
partner economies to encourage firms to invest in R&D. As of 2015, 28 out of 34 OECD
countries and a number of major non-OECD economies give preferential tax treatment to
business R&D expenditures. R&D tax incentives may apply to corporation taxes, payroll
withholding tax or social security contributions (SSC) in the form of credits or enhanced
allowances applicable on the volume of R&D expenditure undertaken. Some countries target
tax relief to R&D expenditures over and above of a pre-defined baseline amount. Such
incentives are commonly described as “incremental”. In 2015, volume-based tax credits
represent the most frequently-used form of tax relief across OECD and partner economies.

New estimates of the cost of R&D tax incentives have been combined with data on direct
R&D funding (R&D grants and purchases), as reported by firms, to provide a more complete
picture of government efforts to promote business R&D. As of 2014, approximately 6.7% of
business R&D was directly funded by governments. R&D tax incentives account for the
equivalent of an additional 5.2% of public funding of business R&D. Reliance on R&D tax
support has generally increased relative to various forms of direct funding from 2006 to 2014.
