Industrial Policy and International Competition in High Technology
Article Abstract:
Three essays provide insight into the problem of capital formation blockage by Japanese competition. Investment in development is needed in the United States to stay competitive in new products of high technology. The relationship of product life cycle and return on investment is outlined. The Japanese have used a successful competitive strategy which involves protecting its domestic market, obtaining capital for production investment, producing high quality products at low cost, and acquiring foreign technology. Solutions to the problem call for opening the Japanese market to United States firms. Tax policy should allocate more capital for development in the United States.
