Flow of Technology from the OECD to the U.S.S.R: A Feasibility Study

摘要

This report (1) evaluates the feasibility for conducting a study of the relative value to the U.S.S.R. of technology obtained by direct exchanges with the U.S., and (2) discusses the availability, accessibility, and probable contribution of published and unpublished sources of information and data necessary to carrying out the project. Our conclusion is that the basic objective is indeed feasible, and the originally proposed program of value, for these reasons: (1) Adequate information is, or will be made, available; (2) The specific analysis recommended has not been previously performed; (3) Current research programs at other institutions are not addressing these specific questions; and (4) The results will provide a valuable basis for broader discussions and analyses.
