Download or read book The Incentives and Disincentives of Innovation Prizes written by Bharat Bhushan (S. M.) and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technological innovation is driven by incentives. However, our understanding of how incentives actually work "on the ground" to change the level of activity of innovators or to shape the direction of their innovation is relatively limited. This thesis contributes to this understanding by focusing on innovation prizes (as applied to the energy industry). It aims to examine how prizes provide a useful but also a limiting incentive for companies in a particular arena of R&D. Specifically, the thesis involves a survey of the teams that dropped out from a highly publicized prize competition to learn about their motivations and perspectives about the competition. How companies/teams understand and evaluate the technologies that they promote involves as much understanding of the technologies as of the economic models of incentives. This thesis uses a survey based methodology to explore the impact of a particular incentive structure - prizes - on a group of teams who initially participated in the prizes and then later decided to drop out. By selecting the drop out group we were able to explore the details of the prize as an innovation mechanism in more detail. The survey results reveal that the dropped out teams believed the prize to be an opportunity to raise money for their projects. Their inability to raise enough funds and eventual dropping out did not decrease their excitement about prizes as an ideal incentive to bring about radical change even though, the dropped out teams judged the specific prize competition as less than ideal. As a consequence, the thesis concludes that the prize incentive has a close relationship with and hence extends the financial infrastructure of a society.

This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was conducted at a Federal Agency to determine the relationship between financial incentive programs, productivity, and the quality of work life. The financial incentive program known as gainsharing was examined to determine its effect on productivity. Individual and group incentive programs were used to establish whether there was a preference. Data was collected regarding the productivity from five different operational locations. Surveys were completed before any pay for performance plans were introduced. Post assessment productivity data and quality of work life responses were compared to a base line measure. In addition, a control group was utilized throughout the study. The control group was not eligible for an incentive plan. Two groups were put on a plan based on individual productivity, one of which included a continuous improvement plan, while the other did not. The other two groups were eligible for group incentive plans. These both operated with continuous improvement programs. The findings suggest that group incentive plans have the least adverse effect on the workers' perception of their work life, while also improving their productivity. Individual incentive plans did improve productivity, but seemed to cause more stress to the worker in terms of their self reported quality of work life. In either case, the findings show that money was a strong motivator for improving performance and that it was the preferred reward by the workers.
Download or read book Means Tested Transfer Programs in the United States written by National Bureau of Economic Research and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2003-10-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few United States government programs are as controversial as those designed to aid the poor. From tax credits to medical assistance, aid to needy families is surrounded by debate—on what benefits should be offered, what forms they should take, and how they should be administered. The past few decades, in fact, have seen this debate lead to broad transformations of aid programs themselves, with Aid to Families with Dependent Children replaced by Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, the Earned Income Tax Credit growing from a minor program to one of the most important for low-income families, and Medicaid greatly expanding its eligibility. This volume provides a remarkable overview of how such programs actually work, offering an impressive wealth of information on the nation's nine largest "means-tested" programs—that is, those in which some test of income forms the basis for participation. For each program, contributors describe origins and goals, summarize policy histories and current rules, and discuss the recipient's characteristics as well as the different types of benefits they receive. Each chapter then provides an overview of scholarly research on each program, bringing together the results of the field's most rigorous statistical examinations. The result is a fascinating portrayal of the evolution and current state of means-tested programs, one that charts a number of shifts in emphasis—the decline of cash assistance, for instance, and the increasing emphasis on work. This exemplary portrait of the nation's safety net will be an invaluable reference for anyone interested in American social policy.

Download or read book Sustaining Global Surveillance and Response to Emerging Zoonotic Diseases written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-01-24 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H1N1 ("swine flu"), SARS, mad cow disease, and HIV/AIDS are a few examples of zoonotic diseases-diseases transmitted between humans and animals. Zoonotic diseases are a growing concern given multiple factors: their often novel and unpredictable nature, their ability to emerge anywhere and spread rapidly around the globe, and their major economic toll on several disparate industries. Infectious disease surveillance systems are used to detect this threat to human and animal health. By systematically collecting data on the occurrence of infectious diseases in humans and animals, investigators can track the spread of disease and provide an early warning to human and animal health officials, nationally and internationally, for follow-up and response. Unfortunately, and for many reasons, current disease surveillance has been ineffective or untimely in alerting officials to emerging zoonotic diseases. Sustaining Global Surveillance and Response to Emerging Zoonotic Diseases assesses some of the disease surveillance systems around the world, and recommends ways to improve early detection and response. The book presents solutions for improved coordination between human and animal health sectors, and among governments and international organizations. Parties seeking to improve the detection and response to zoonotic diseases-including U.S. government and international health policy makers, researchers, epidemiologists, human health clinicians, and veterinarians-can use this book to help curtail the threat zoonotic diseases pose to economies, societies, and health.
