      abstract = {The economic importance of innovative activity brings with  it an active debate on the effect of public policy on the  innovation process. This annual series, sponsored by the  National Bureau of Economic Research, brings the work of  leading academic researchers to the broader policy  community, presenting papers that demonstrate the role that  economic theory and empirical analysis can play in  evaluating policy. Volume 7 considers such topics as the  apparent productivity decline in the pharmaceutical  industry; the effect of patents on both the "scientific  commons" and cumulative discovery; the flow of new Ph.D.s  into industry; a new mechanism to create economic  incentives for producers of digital goods that both  stimulates innovation and encourages widespread use; and a  formal analytical structure for a science of crisis  management.},
