Abstract:
Abstract At budget time in the US Federal Government’s Office of Management and Budget in the Executive branch, and in the Congressional Budget Office in the legislative branch, the question is probably asked: is the investment in applied social research (concerned with major social problems) worth it? Should we spend more, the same, or less? What should we cut, what should we augment?
