How Economics Shapes Science.
Harvard University Press. 2012
Paula Stephan investigates how competition among scientists for scarce
resources and reputation shapes scientific research. She highlights the growing
gap between the haves and have-nots—especially the vast imbalance
between the biomedical sciences and physics/engineering—and offers a
persuasive vision of a more productive, more creative research system that
would lead and benefit the world.
