This study systematically creates an economics of science. Many aspects of science are explored from an economic point of view. The scientist is treated as an economically rational individual. This book begins with economic models of misconduct in science and the legitimate, normal practices of science, moving on to market failure, the market place of ideas, self-correctiveness, and the organizational and institutional structures of science. An exploration of broader methodological themes raised by an economics of science ends the work.Routledge frontiers of political economy ;13.ScienceSocial aspectsFraud in scienceElectronic books.ScienceSocial aspects.Fraud in science.303.48/3Wible James R.1951,985603MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910449709303321The economics of science2252900UNINA
