1It is widely known that the innovation statistics from BRDIS and the CIS lack comparability: see an explanation in Hall (2011, fn. 4).

2See InfoBrief 11-300 (October 2010): available: http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/infbrief/nsf11300/ [December 2011]. The data are based on the 2008 BRDIS, which was launched in January 2009.

3Tabulations on the 2009 data are due to be released in mid-2012, with an InfoBrief on the 2009 BRDIS data scheduled to be released in December 2011. The 2010 BRDIS data were still being collected in November 2011.

4Clearly, other data, together with more thorough regression analysis, would be necessary to determine causal relationships.

5See Petersen and Ahmad (2007) for a technique of conducting this type of analysis.

6These data would also enable NCSES to create indicators on job mobility (see further discussion below).
