Science vs. profit in research : lessons from the human genome project
Carraro, Carlo; Pomè, Alessandra; Siniscalco, Domenico - 2001
This paper elaborates on the recent race to sequence the human genome. Starting from the debate on public vs. private research arising from the genome case, the paper shows that in some fundamental research areas, where knowledge externalities play an important role, market and non-market...
