ContextProgram data coverage
This table shows all the program cohorts included in the PAT. A cohort consists of the firms who joined a program in a given year. Some programs extend beyond the years shown here, however BLADE data is only available from 2001–02, and at this stage the latest year of program data that has been integrated into BLADE is 2015–16 for the
Research & Development Tax Incentive, and 2014–15 for other programs. Visit the Program descriptions page for details on each program. Benchmark data is available from 2001–02 to 2015–16. For the benchmark, each "cohort" consists of all the active, employing firms in the economy that year.
