摘要
The US National Science Foundation's (NSF's) Division of Policy Research and Analysis (PRA) supported academic research related to, among many other things, measurement of the returns to private and public R&D, during the early 1980s. The findings from this body of research became a foundation for a number of technology and innovation policies promulgated in the aftermath of the US productivity slowdown in the 1970s, and, as we suggest in this paper, a foundation for many contemporary technology and innovation policy initiatives. We argue that there are lessons to be learned from PRA's successes from its sponsorship of research in this area, and we suggest one possible area of future emphasis for NSF's ongoing Science of Science and Innovation Policy program.
