Thesis (Ph.D.)--Emory University, 2004.

The essays in this dissertation explore the effect of external factors on university allocation of non-faculty resources, on faculty allocation of effort, and on faculty outputs. The first two essays are theoretical analyses of how policy decisions induce changes in resource (faculty and non-faculty) allocation. The third essay is an empirical study of the effect of research funding and of past patent activity on the researcher's current outputs.

520 $a The essays in this dissertation explore the effect of external factors on university allocation of non-faculty resources, on faculty allocation of effort, and on faculty outputs. The first two essays are theoretical analyses of how policy decisions induce changes in resource (faculty and non-faculty) allocation. The third essay is an empirical study of the effect of research funding and of past patent activity on the researcher's current outputs.
520 $a The first essay uses a principal-agent model to analyze the effect on faculty allocation of effort of two public policy changes---the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 and federal cost accounting rules regarding faculty compensation under federal research grants. While the Bayh-Dole Act requires a piece rate on royalties, Circular A-21 effectively precludes a piece rate on research funding. The model predicts that the Bayh-Dole Act tended to stimulate technology transfer effort whereas Circular A-21 tended to discourage grant-seeking effort. The effect on effort expended on other job tasks depends on the relationship---both in nature and in magnitude---between the tasks in the researcher's cost function.
520 $a The second essay uses the same multitask principal-agent model to analyze the effect on university resource allocation and on faculty allocation of effort of two public policy decisions---the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 and cuts in state funding for higher education in the 1980s and 1990s. The model predicts that the Bayh-Dole Act stimulates more faculty effort and more university resources allocated to technology transfer whereas cuts in state funding induce less faculty effort and fewer university resources allocated to undergraduate education.
520 $a The third, empirical essay studies the influence of industry funding, federal funding, past publications, and past patent activity on the outputs of 327 tenured and tenure-track researchers at three U.S. universities. The paper has three important finding: First, industry and federal funding each have only a minor influence on the probability of producing any given mix of papers, patents, and funding. Second, the paper finds that past patent activity makes current patent activity more probable but does not affect the probability of current publication activity. Lastly, past publications make current publication more probable but do not affect the probability of current patent activity.
