  • Scientific knowledge as a global public good: Contributions to innovation and society (examples from agriculture)
    Dalrymple, D. G. (2002)
    The public domain is composed of public goods of many types. Perhaps the most important public good, measured by contributions to innovation and in turn to society, is scientific knowledge. Such knowledge in its pure form is a classic public good. And while recent technical advances have stimulated its generation and greatly sped its spread, other forces may limit its public domain characteristics.
  • Social science knowledge as a public good
    Dalrymple, D. G. (2005)
    This chapter provides some notions and information that could help stimulate a more widespread awareness of social science knowledge as a public good. It starts from the point of view of economics and then moves to some other components of the social sciences. The characteristics of public social science research, the funding and prioritization of public social science research, and some implications for social research at the CGIAR, are discussed.
