Abstract

This paper adds to the nascent economics literature about nanotechnology by estimating industry’s benefits and costs for the early investments in documentary standards that support the commercialization of nanotechnology, by identifying barriers to the successful development and use of the nanotechnology documentary standards, and by providing public policy recommendations to overcome the barriers.
