Methodology to Quantify the Potential Net Economic Consequences of Increased NATO Commonality, Standardization and Specialization. Volume II. Appendix II.

Abstract

This study surveys the literature on scale economies and learning in production to develop the basic information needed to assess the potential cost savings resulting from a rationalization and reshuffling of weapons production to the nations with the lowest cost of production. That is, a framework is constructed to measure the savings from specialization and division of labor in the production of military products.
