NIST IR 7319 - Toward a Standard Benefit-Cost Methodology for Publicly Funded Science and Technology Programs
AcknowledgementsThe author would like to thank ATP's many contractors for their inspiration and cooperation in developing economic studies of the program's impact. Their dedication to rigorous fact finding and fruitful benefit-cost analysis, despite the uncertainties and long time horizons faced in applying this tool to early-stage R&D projects, leaves a strong and continuing legacy. The author would like to acknowledge Lorel Wisniewski for asking for a comparison of ATP-funded studies that inspired this study and would also like to thank Stephanie Shipp and Connie Chang for their encouragement in pursuing it. Thanks are also due to Brian Belanger, Stephanie Shipp, and Lorel Wisniewski for their helpful review comments and to Harold Marshall, Building and Fire Research Laboratory, for his NIST ERB review.
