A comparative political theory of national science provision

This paper examines the hypothesis that the national funding of science is a product of the process of governance. In support of this idea comparative theories of national governance are mustered. A mixed regression model is developed which examines the explanatory power of economic and political variables in determining science funding in an extended sample of OECD nations.
