Table 9 shows that the Irish share of HSS HERD as a percentage of GNI has increased from 0.08 in 2000 to 0.10 in 2004. 19 Nevertheless, Ireland continues to lag behind Finland (0.20) and Norway (0.15 in 2003) in the share of total HERD allocated to the HSS. Table 9—Humanities and social sciences HERD as a percentage of GNI, 2000–2004 (current prices) 2000 % 2001 % 2002 % 2003 % 2004 % Ireland 0.08 0.08 0.09 0.08 0.10 Finland 0.16 0.16 0.17 0.19 0.20 Norway n/a 0.14 n/a 0.15 1 Portugal 0.09 0.10 0.09 0.10 1 Slovenia 0.05 0.05 0.05 0.03 0.03 Source: Eurostat. Note: 1 Data for 2004 are not available for Norway and Portugal. Table 10 illustrates sources of HERD expenditure and the percentage spend of total HERD on HSS in Ireland, Finland, Norway, Portugal and Slovenia between 1998 and 2004. It shows that the HSS in Ireland continue to receive a lower percentage share of total HERD in comparison to the allocations made by Finland, Norway and Portugal. Table 11 illustrates HERD expenditure on HSS relative to other fields of science. Only Ireland and Slovenia have seen the HSS percentage share of total HERD fall between 2000 and 2004. 19 EU averages are not computed due to difficulties arising from incomplete data but again, Table 9 shows that the Nordic countries are significant investors under this measure. 38

Notes: * These data are less complete than for HERD overall as some countries did not report these breakdowns to the OECD. 1 Breakdown of HSS HERD is not available. Total HSS HERD for Portugal in 1998 taken from OECD R&D database, accessed January 2006. 2 Breakdown of HSS HERD is not available. Total HSS HERD for Portugal in 2000 taken from OECD R&D database, accessed January 2006. 3 This percentage is derived from Eurostat figures for total Portuguese HSS HERD. 4 Annual breakdown not available for Slovenia. Eurostat figures give a HSS HERD percentage share of total HERD of 21.22 per cent in 2002. 5 Annual breakdown not available for Slovenia. Eurostat figures give a HSS HERD percentage share of total HERD of 16.65 in 2004. 39
