An interesting Brookings site

There are some interesting resources on the Science and Technology facet of the website of the Hamilton Project of the Brookings Institution. The major study seems to be:
Promoting Opportunity and Growth through Science, Technology, and Innovation
by Jason Bordoff, Michael Deich, Rebecca Kahane, and Peter Orszag

Technological progress has accounted for a large and increasing share of U.S. economic growth. The Hamilton Project's strategy for enhancing innovation is focused on three "I's": individuals, investment, and incentives. The strategy calls for improving the quality of our education and training, particularly in science and math, in order to develop a high-quality labor force; embracing a redesigned system of national investments in-along with a stronger commitment to-scientific research; and adopting smarter incentives for private firms to undertake research and development.
