About The Book
"The Macroeconomic Effects of Industrial Spillovers: The Case of Sweden's Aircraft Industry" by Gunnar Eliasson is a scholarly exploration of the macroeconomic effects of positive externalities or industrial spillovers associated with advanced production technologies. The study focuses on the Swedish aircraft industry, particularly the Saab aircraft manufacturer and the JAS 39 Gripen multirole combat aircraft project.

The book expands on Eliasson’s earlier work, "Technology Generator or a National Prestige Project" (1995), and provides deeper insights into the role of advanced industrial production in economic development. The analysis is extended to South Africa, where the JAS 39 Gripen was acquired for the Air Force, and discusses spillovers in an industrially developing economy.

This text is organized for academic readers, with the main chapters presenting comprehensive findings, while two supplements delve into the technical details, data collection, mathematical models, and calculation methods used in the study. The first chapter acts as an executive summary, while the second chapter summarizes the entire study, including its challenges, results, and methodologies.

This book is an essential resource for anyone studying the economic impact of technology and public procurement in the context of advanced industrial development, particularly in the European and global defense sectors
