Analysis of Research and Development Trends in the U. S. and USSR. Volume I. Summary and Technical Discussion,
Abstract
The study investigates the relationships between the efforts expended by the United States and the Soviet Union on military R+D, as measured by expenditures, and the fruits of those efforts--the identifiable products of the military R+D process. The generation of measures of military R+D output is a major component of the study effort. Based on these measures of output and on reported values of U.S. and USSR military R+D expenditures, correlations are sought between each nation's military R+D expenditures and its R+D output. In addition, relative U.S. and Soviet inputs are correlated with relative U.S. and Soviet outputs of the R+D process. Generally, high correlations are found when comparing relative inputs and outputs of the two nations and when comparing USSR inputs and outputs in the years prior to 1962. (Author)
