    Poposki, Nikola ; Majcen, Nineta ; Taylor, Philip, meroslovje
    The objective of this paper is to provide an economic perspective to those involved in public financing of the national metrology infrastructure. Whereasjustifications for subsidising the national ... metrological activities areoften historically biased, we raise the importance of economic considerations, which could be used during prioritisation. The expenditure in measurement and metrology infrastructure of European countries are compared toeconomic indicators for quality of life. Various proxies are used, such as measuring instruments sale (for measurement infrastructure) and data from the BIPMćs KCDB (as a proxy for national standards). As the EU Internal Market also holds for the provision of metrological services, the paper exposes possible trends regarding public financing to the sector.
