Has Anyone Studied Prizes?

Out of curiosity, has anyone actually studied the effects of prizes on $tech development? They seem rather popular right now - the X Prize Foundation taking up the lead right now - but what of their real effects? There has been one that I know of that panned out well. There's another that I am aware of that looks like it may pan out. But what of the whole concept in general? Anyone actually looked at it? if so, where's the paper so I can chew on it...
