"Evaluating Public Research Institutions provides the first detailed case study analysis of what is arguably one of the United States' hallmark public sector research programs: the Advanced Technology Program (ATP). The ATP's primary objective is to assist US business in creating and applying new technologies in order to maintain a competitive edge in a rapidly changing world economy." "This book presents a unique, systematic study of a public agency's pioneering intramural research program and provides a methodological illustration of how other public organizations should proceed when conducting such an evaluation. This book will be of great interest to academics and researchers in economics as well as policy makers who are involved in program evaluation."--Jacket.
