. Oslo,Universitetsforlaget.p. 3-16. Artikkelen er en kritikk av finansieringssystemet av norsk anvendt samfunnsforskning. Det argumenteres for at en for stor andel er brukerfinansiert og splittet opp på enkeltprosjekter. Resultatet er både byråkratisk sløsing og for lite forskning som kan holde de store politiske og økonomiske beslutningstakerne under kritisk oppsikt. - Andvig, Jens Chr (2006).
