A further Step towards the common methodology for the comparable economic effect between various R&D programs

Abstract: There is no generally accepted single stylized methodology for the impact assessment of R&D(or standardization) programs even though NIST in the United States or ISO has been trying to set up a common methodology during past decades. It is because the economic outcomes that analysts seek to quantify vary significantly with the diversity and complexity of the affected industry and the analytic approach, as well as the nature of R&D programs.  This study proposes the model to establish common methodology which is designed to enable the comparable economic assessment analysis between various R&D programs. The model thus serves to enable a comparable impact assessment because it enables both universally valid and stylized analysis, while traditional impact assessment analysis can vary depending on the kinds of analytic approaches. In other words, this study developed the common methodology which is designed to stylize the universally valid impact assessment of R&D programs. In addition, this study shows that it should be accompanied by empirical research for some of the parameters in the model, to enable the realization of the both comparable and sophisticated analysis of impact assessments, thereby outputting in the terms or spectrum of those values which depend on the industry and/or R&D type.
