Basic vs Applied Research
• Applied – undertaken specifically for the purpose of obtaining information to help resolve a particular problem
• The distinction between them is in the application
• Basic has little application to real world policy and management but could be done to guide applied research

Research is a creative process• “…research includes far more
than mere logic … It includes insight, genius, groping, pondering – ‘sense’ … The logic we can teach; the art we cannot”
• There are different types of creativity, characteristic of different situations – “applied” and “theoretical” most closely associate with economic research
