An Evaluation of Federal Policy Instruments to Stimulate Basic Research in Industry

Joglekar, Prafulla; Hamburg, Morris - In: Management Science 29 (1983) 9, pp. 997-1015

A model of the resource allocation behavior of a group of firms demonstrates that unaided industry allocation to basic (inappropriable) research is suboptimal. Furthermore, provision of seed money is generally counterproductive, while the provision of a matching subsidy is not very...

Carbon Capture by Fossil Fuel Power Plants: An Economic Analysis

Özge \.I\c{s}legen; Reichelstein, Stefan - In: Management Science 57 (2011) 1, pp. 21-39

For fossil fuel power plants to be built in the future, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies offer the potential for significant reductions in carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emissions. We examine the break-even value for CCS adoptions, that is, the critical value in the charge for CO<sub>2</sub> emissions...

Priority Assignment of OSHA Safety Inspectors

Everett E. Adam, Jr. - In: Management Science 24 (1978) 15, pp. 1642-1649

A priority assignment model for OSHA safety inspectors was developed and tested using 34,500 actual employee injuries from a total of 105,000 injuries in Missouri during 1973. The model combines expert opinions concerning selection of injury criteria and data from, reports of employee injuries....
