They present a history of ammonia production in the U.S., a survey of government regulation in the industry, and a model of process innovation that combines the economist's production function with the technical and practical concepts of the engineer. Contrary to the widely held view that regulation has an unfortunate impact on business, the authors demonstrate that--at least in one industry--the economic factors of production have a measurable impact on innovation, while regulation does not. 410 0$aWestview replica edition. 606 $aAmmonia industry$zUnited States 606 $aAmmonia industry$xTechnological innovations 606 $aTechnological innovations$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aManufacturing processes$vCase studies 615 0$aAmmonia industry 615 0$aAmmonia industry$xTechnological innovations. 615 0$aTechnological innovations 615 0$aManufacturing processes 676 $a338.47661340973 676 $a338.47661340973 700 $aGreenberg$b Edward$f1936-$01683581 702 $aHill$b Christopher T. 702 $aNewburger$b David J. 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810024103321 996 $aRegulation, market prices, and process innovation$94054437 997 $aUNINA
