Anmerkung: Includes bibliographical references and index , 1. Some difficulties in the existing theory of externalities -- 2. Coase and all that -- 3. More on why government? -- 4. The poor -- 5. The legacy of Bismarck -- 6. Some biological problems -- 7. The rich -- 8. The survey of the existing system -- 9. Rent seeking -- 10. War -- 11. Monarchies and dictatorships -- 12. What, if anything, should we do? , Gordon Tullock, eminent political economist and one of the founders of public choice, offers this new and fascinating look at how governments and externalities are linked. Economists frequently justify government as dealing with externalities, defined as benefits or costs that are generated as the result of an economic activity, but that do not accrue directly to those involved in the activity. In this original work, Gordon Tullock posits that government can also create externalities. In doing so, he looks at governmental activity that internalizes such externalities

Inhalt: University research has played an essential role in economic growth by generating public good outputs that have not readily lent themselves to private market development. As funding for universities and governmental research units has declined, these institutions have turned to the private sector to augment their research and development budgets. This book presents a framework for structuring public-private research partnerships that protect both these institutions' academic freedom and the private firm's corporate interests. The authors present a four-stage framework that recognizes the critical role of 'control rights' and reveals how these rights can be effectively identified, valued, and allocated between research partners. The book provides a number of template designs for a variety of research partnerships, including tactics and strategies for implementing successful public-private research partnerships. It further provides case studies with examples of both successful and unsuccessful research partnerships. The book demonstrates that universities are empowered when they pursue private partners actively and when contracts preserve academic freedom, address confidentiality, specify intellectual property rights, define access to proprietary data, clarify the conflict resolution process, and address potential publication delays. This book is an essential and illuminating resource for academic researchers in economics and public policy departments, technology transfer offices, as well as others involved in university and public administration.

Originaltitel: The physician

Inhalt: "Ein verwaister junger Mann, der im elften Jahrhundert mit einem Bader durch England zieht, bricht in den Orient auf, um Meisterschüler des Gelehrten Ibn Sina zu werden. Während er zwischen christlicher und jüdischer Identität wechselt, führt er sein Ringen um medizinische Erkenntnis über Grenzen und Tabus hinweg und wird mit den sich radikalisierenden Tendenzen in der islamischen Welt konfrontiert. Aufwändig ausgestattetes Abenteuerepos nach dem Roman von Noah Gordon. [...]" [film-dienst.de]
