Trends and Challenges in Aerospace Offsets: Proceedings and Papers,
Abstract
This volume is derived directly from the February 1997 request by the White House National Economic Council (NEC) to the National Research Council Board on Science, Technology and Economic Policy (STEP) to examine the impact of offsets on the U.S. aerospace industry. Specifically, the NEC asked that STEP organize a major workshop to examine the pressures facing U.S. companies to grant offsets in the increasingly competitive global aerospace markets for both defense and commercial aircraft and related products. Although cognizant of the definitional and analytical challenges associated with this subject, the STEP Board accepted the NEC's request. In accepting this task, the STEP Board's principal concern was that, in the time frame required for this initial effort, the Board would not be able to work through the analytical difficulties and overcome the data limitations associated with offsets. Consequently, the Board agreed to organize a comprehensive workshop and prepare a summary report of the workshop that would not, however, include recommendations or findings. The workshop was held at the National Academy of Sciences on June 9, 1997 and the report, entitled Policy Issues in Aerospace Offsets, was published on June 30, 1997.
