Summary:
Research and development are closely related to education and the economy. This is so, because the economy consumes the results of R&D, whilst education uses the results of research to educate students, and provides people capable of transferring technology. Therefore, to obtain the stable development of a given country all the three sectors ought to develop in a harmonized way. To detect weak links in the chain of these three sectors - an international comparisons should be made, based on the GDP per capita index, which represents the state of the national economy, and the capability of the national budget.
