Science and innovation plays an increasingly important role in the
growth of economies throughout the world. This two volume
collection of previously published articles seeks to provide a
comprehensive overview of this key area of the global economy. The
first volume presents important material on scientific knowledge,
including property rights and reward structures to the productivity
of scientists. In the second volume, the role of science in
industry and the commercialization of science are discussed,
together with an examination of the economic effects of R&D in
terms of investment and gain, both for individual companies and
national economies. The final section discusses whether public
policies to control scientific growth are either necessary or
desirable.
"Science and the University" investigates the tremendous changes
that have taken place in university research over the past several
decades, gauging the current state of research in higher education
and examining issues and challenges crucial to its future.
Scientific research increasingly dominates the aims and agendas of
many American universities, and this proliferation--and changes in
the way research is conducted--has given rise to important
questions about the interrelations of higher education, funding for
scientific research, and government policy. The cost of doing
science, the commercialization of university research, the changing
composition and number of Ph.D. students, the effect of scientific
research on other university programs--these are just a few of the
many issues explored in this volume from the vantage points of
scholars in such diverse fields as economics, biochemistry,
genetics, and labor studies.

and public policy. Packed with applied examples and using few
equations, the book walks readers through elementary material using

associated statistics, and hypothesis tests. The Second Edition

output.
