NATIONAL INNOVATION SYSTEMS: ROLE OF DEFENSE SPENDING IN INNOVATION PROCESS (THE UNITED STATES EXPERIENCE)
Abstract
The article considers the role of national
defense branches in national innovative systems by example
of the USA during and after the Cold War. The
authors determine the basic directions in which the state
investments in defense industries can infl uence innovative
effi ciency of other sectors and economy as a whole.
On the basis of the analysis of three US post-war industries
development (mechanical engineering, aircraft
and information technology) the conclusion is made that
defense investments produce ambiguous infl uence on
economic effi ciency.
