Abstract
In this paper, an attempt has been made to forecast science and technology expenditure of India by simulation method as well as by regression method. The base data used are the average yearly growth rates of science and technology expenditure both at current and constant prices. For the regression analyses, the yearly growth rates of the gross national product at factor cost both at current and constant prices are used as independent variable. The forecast values of S&T expenditure have been given up to seven years from 1982–83, for both simulation method and regression method.
