International Science and Technology Practice and Policy Center (InSTePP)
Public and private decisions shaping science and technology increasingly involve
international dimensions. Investments in research in one locale have spillover
consequences in other locations and other areas of science. International
agreements and policy initiatives and the actions of governments and
multinational firms regarding trade, regulatory and intellectual property concerns
are also impinging on and being affected by innovation processes. The
InSTePP center undertakes economic research on strategic science and
technology policies, emphasizing the incentives facing and behavior of private
entities as well as government actions that affect the conduct, performance and
economic consequences of R&D worldwide. Prof. Philip Pardey, Department of Applied Economics, directs this center.
