Collaboration with and without Coauthorship: Rocket Science Versus Economic Science

William Barnett

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This essay is about my prior experiences as a rocket scientist on Apollo rocket engines, with comparison to my subsequent experiences at the Federal Reserve, and in academia, with emphasis upon differences in collaboration and scientific methodology. A primary difference is in the emphasis on measurement.
