Fireside Chat: The Economics of Defense Policies: Military Offset Programs

In this webinar, we will discuss the pros and cons of military offset programs, which are government-to-government agreements in which a country agrees to purchase military equipment from another country in exchange for that country agreeing to invest in the first country’s economy in some way. This can include things like technology transfer, joint ventures, or the establishment of production facilities in the first country.

We will be discussing the following topics:
The history of military offset programs.
The pros and cons of military offset programs.
How military offset programs can be used to promote economic development?
How military offset programs can be used to improve national security

This is a great opportunity to learn more about a complex and important issue.
