Federal Financial Support for High-Technology Industries

摘要

U.S. technological primacy is being challenged internationally as never before. There is a perception that much of this competition is subsidized by foreign governments, while the U.S. government gives relatively little assistance to high-technology industries. This study, made at the request of the Senate Budget Committee, attempts to show how much support the federal government gives to high-technology industries and presents options for change. In keeping with the mandate of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the report makes no recommendations.
