This volume analyzes data from a National Science Foundation survey on the financial and human resources devoted to research and development (R&D) in the United States, and compares U.S. performance to that of other nations.

Two appendixes present technical notes and corresponding tables; a third appendix contains statistical data, organized in 40 tables and categorized according to total national expenditures, federal government expenditures, industry expenditures, and university and college expenditures.

Abstract

The philosophy of science in the study of economics does not render economic research and dissertation more scientific. If at all, it promotes thoughts on philosophy rather than on science. While science is highly applicable to economics, economists have very little use for it as they lean more toward mathematics, neoclassical synthesis and authorship. However, if science is to be infused into economics, interdisciplinary research can be made a part of its study.
