The socioeconomic impact of large scale research infrastructures: models, methods, and data

In chapter 16, Bastianin and Florio survey models and methods used to assess the economic and societal impacts of Large Scale Research Infrastructures (LSRIs) and provide a taxonomy of existing frameworks of analysis and then review the methodologies used to quantitatively assess the impacts of LSRIs. They also survey the literature that provides quantitative and qualitative evidence on the effects of LSRIs and discuss methodological policy implications arising from such studies.
