This path-breaking book addresses the economics of knowledge in
universities and, in particular, asks how the changing structure of
university research funding influences research behaviour. The
author considers the relationship between the allocation of funds
and university scientific research productivity and examines
different aspects of European Union funding of university research.
In particular, the impact of possible unintended consequences of
university policies and priorities are studied. The author
introduces an economic and historical approach to university
research behaviour that allows one to evaluate the indirect
consequences of the new 'competitive approach' to university
behaviour and funding. Moreover, the book presents empirical
evidence supporting the hypothesis that tighter linkages between
university and industry, which aim to increase the transfer of
knowledge, may produce unintended negative effects. This book will
be of use to scholars of the economics of innovation and the
economics of knowledge.
