TY - BOOK AU - Barbaroux,Pierre TI - The metamorphosis of the world space economy: investigating global trends and national differences among major space nations’ market structure PY - 2016///. N1 - 46 N2 - This article investigates the evolution of space industries from 2000 to 2013. Building on descriptive statistics regarding the volumes of spacecraft launched by major space Nations (United-States, Russia, Europe, China, Japan and India), it provides evidence that the asymmetry between government (e.g., space agencies and military organizations) and non-government customers (e.g., universities, research laboratories and private companies) decreased before getting stable. However, it also demonstrates that the shift toward a (more) balanced market structure between public and private, commercial and non-commercial, government and non-government customers of space assets is not homogeneous among space Nations.JEL Codes: O3, O33, O38 UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-of-innovation-economics-2016-2-page-9?lang=en ER -
