I’m responding to how Amazon categorizes their R&D expenditures (which is based on IRS’s definition, not the Wikipedia definition). If we don’t understand how Amazon categorizes R&D, we can’t make a fair comparison to France. If anything, IRS’s (very) broad definition of R&D helps France in that Amazon’s R&D spend isn’t truly R&D in the colloquial sense (or the Wikipedia definition) In other words, Amazon’s R&D spend is likely overstated (based on what an average person would consider “R&D”)
