Research and development (R & D) leads to innovation, and
innovation leads to technological change. Technological change, in
turn, is the primary driver of economic growth. Public/private
partnerships -- cooperative relationships among industry,
government, and/or universities -- leverage the efficiency of R
& D and are thus a critical aspect of a nationa (TM)s
innovation system.
This text is intended for upper-level undergraduate and MBA
courses such as Economics and Technology, Economics of Innovation,
and Economics of Science and Technology, among others. The first
chapter introduces the concept of public/private research

chapters (2-5) set forth an argument for the publica (TM)s role a"
governmenta (TM)s role a" in innovation in general and in
public/private partnership in particular. The remaining chapters
(6-14) describe a number of public/private partnerships and, to the
extent possible, evaluate their social impact.
