‘The Economics of Innovation Policy is a remarkable collection both for the comprehensiveness of the topics covered and the quality of the individual papers. They bring economic rigor with genuine insights into the evolving role of the government in national innovation systems, and at the same time have practical, policy-orientated assessments of the use of R&D tax credits and public–private technology partnerships. Importantly, there are excellent papers on the role of the university in the innovation process as well as on the highly important but often overlooked role of standards in the development of new technologies. This comprehensive, high-quality series is a genuinely valuable contribution for the researcher and policymaker alike.’
