Three essays on the political economy of forensic science
… Chapter 3 estimates the cost differences between nationally and locally operated forensic science laboratories, and using an average total cost function, determines that nationally operated laboratories are not more or less efficient than sub-national laboratories. Finally, chapter 4 explores the …
