Financial Dialogue between Government and Industry

Abstract

Interest in upgrading the technological competence of American business and industry has no formal historical beginning, though government intervention in the marketplace for just such a purpose has been a front and center item since at least 1963. As we have gleaned, financial mechanisms generally take the form of: Direct financial instruments, e.g., payments, contracts, Financial incentives, e.g., tax breaks, increased fees, Indirect financial assistance, e.g., guaranteed buys, import tariffs, Risk-sharing arrangements, e.g., cooperative ventures. Over the years, an accumulation of statutes, laws, customs and traditions have been built up that represent the collection of constraints on permissible financially-based cooperative mechanisms. Keywords: Government procurement, Economics.
