      abstract = {Failure in R&D efforts are fairly common and with many  factors that contribute to the outcome. This book focuses  on the role of principal investigators (PIs) in R&D project  failures and provides a theoretical model explaining how  firm characteristics, including those of the PIs, impact  the probability of failure. The theoretical model also  serves as a structural form model to motivate the empirical  analysis which assesses the probability of failure in small  technology-based firms. The author uses data from the U.S.  Department of Energy’s (DOE) Small Business Innovation  Research (SBIR) program to build a new and informative tool  to assess R&D projects and demonstrate the strengths of the  theoretical model. The association between PIs and R&D  failure not only provides insights that can have a  downstream impact to economic growth, but it can also  provide policymakers with valuable information to aid  decisions in allocating funds for R&D.},
