The Simple Economics of Basic Scientific Research

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the simple economics of basic research and argue that if we allocate a given quantity of resources to science, this implies that we are not allocating these resources to other activities and, hence, we are depriving ourselves of a flow of future benefits that we could have obtained had none of our resources been directed to basic research.
