For a prominent non-economist applying some economistic and game theoretic 
models, see 
  The Advancement of Science : Science Without Legend, Objectivity 
  Without Illusions, by Philip Kitcher.  
  Oxford Univ Press, 1993 (ppb reprint April 1995). 
 
  espy the last chapter, 
        8. The Organization of Cognitive Labor 
 
By the way, for *some* books including this one, the web bookseller 
amazon.com has posted the table of contents (and more). 
 
Some philosophers of science are concerned about Protecting Philosophy of 
Science From Economics as personified by non-economist Kitcher.
