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. 410 0$aRoutledge frontiers of political economy ;$v13. 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects 606 $aFraud in science 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aFraud in science. 676 $a303.48/3 700 $aWible$b James R.$f1951,$0985603 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449709303321 996 $aThe economics of science$92252900 997 $aUNINA
