Synopsis "public accountability"

public accountability: evaluating technology-based institutions presents guidelines for evaluating the research performance of technology-based public institutions, and illustrates these guidelines through case studies conducted at one technology-based public institution, the national institute of standards and technology (nist). the aim of this book is to demonstrate that a clear, more precise response to the question of performance accountability is possible through the systematic application of evaluation methods to document value. the authors begin with a review of the legislative history of fiscal accountability beginning with the budget and accounting act of 1921, and ending with the government performance and results act of 1993. a discussion of existing applicable economic models, methods, and associated metrics follows. the book concludes with evaluation case studies.
