Public Goods, Public Gains: Calculating the Social Benefits of Public R&D
Link, Albert N. (Professor of Economics, Professor of Economics, University of North Carolina at Greensboro)
In Public Goods, Public Gains, Link and Scott discuss and apply in case studies the systematic application of alternative evaluation methods to estimate the social benefits of publicly-financed research and development (R&D). The authors argue that economic theory should be the guiding criterion for any method of program evaluation because it focuses attention on the value and the opportunity costs of the program.
