Abstract: Abstract Chapter 6 lays out a research agenda for continued investigation of the risks and returns of government R&D programs. Ways of incorporating social benefits, like reduced pollution, need to be further developed. Methods for better simulating the option exercise decisions of multiple firms to deploy a new technology at different points in time are also needed. In addition, more work is warranted to improve the characterization and simulation of the multiple types of potential relationships among the projects in an R&D portfolio. Finally, for R&D programs that apply the stage-gate review process, the method used earlier in the book requires an adjustment to accommodate sequential decision-making.
