Electronics Industry, Spring 2008
Abstract
America has long enjoyed worldwide leadership in the electronics industry. Such leadership has conferred tremendous economic and security benefits, however, today large segments of the semiconductor value chain have moved to Asia, drawn by foreign government incentives. The United States risks losing leadership in this critical industry unless immediate proactive policy measures are adopted, including support for education and R&D through full funding of the America COMPETES Act, tax and R&D incentives for American-based semiconductor companies, and the recruitment and retention of global engineering talent through the modification of the current H-1B visa program.
