Abstract

The accumulation of knowledge through higher education, scientific research and industrial R&D is a key factor in economic and social development. This timely and valuable book focuses on the microeconomics of knowledge production and on the analysis of technical constraints, possibilities of collaboration and incentives of scientists, academic teachers and students. The advantages and disadvantages of centrally controlled and competitive university systems are also analyzed. The authors conclude with a set of decision-making rules for government, university administrations and industry.
