In an era of limited research resources and limitless research
needs, demonstrating the worth of any research discipline to
policymakers and administrators is a prerequisite for obtaining
future funding and making an impact in policy matters. Economists
have worked diligently in developing both quantitative and
qualitative indicators of the value of science and technology R
& D. At the same time, they have paid little or no attention to
valuing their own work. In What's Economics Worth? Valuing Policy
Research, several expert economists take an important first step
towards redressing this imbalance. Anyone who wants to understand
what economists do and how to think about valuing their work will
find this book intriguing and worthwhile.
