Jumpstart 2000—The Maine Economic Improvement Strategy: A Targeted Investment In Research And Development, Mark W. Lawrence, George L. Jacobson

Maine Policy Review

In recent years Maine has ranked 50th in per capita spending on university-based research and development in the United States, a distinction that an increasing number of Maine policymakers, citizens, business representatives and researchers find alarming. Citing the positive gains R&D investments have shown in other states, not the least of which is improved economic performance, the authors set forth an argument for investing in Maine’s public R&D infrastructure. Whether and how to make such investments have been the subjects of recent debate in many states.
