"Until recently the best-known joint non-nuclear scientific endeavors 

 have taken place in intergovernmental organisations unconnected with the 

 EEC: this paper examines the history of some cooperative research work, 

 known as the COST projects (Cooperation Scientifique et Technologique) 

 which were formulated within the original Community of Six." The Aked- 

 Gummet article is followed by a comment by A. Klose.

This document consists of the edited transcript from a Department of 



Commerce symposium held in November, 1975, on the subject of technology 



trade with the centrally planned economies. Government officials gave an 



overview of East-West technological trade in terms of trading volume, 



export controls, and foreign policy. A panel of experts discussed problems 



and benefits associated with selling American technology, such as creating 



foreign competition, loss of market share, export of jobs, pricing levels, and 



economic ramifications. A second panel discussed potential opportunities 



for the transfer of Soviet computer, energy, and metallurgy technologies to 



the United States. Case histories of American company dealings with the 



People's Republic of China were given.

Their Implications for the U.S. Economy. [Washington, U.S. Dept. of Labor, 



Bureau of International Labor Affairs] 1976. 1 v.' (various pagings) 



Presents results of "a major policy study on the international transfers of 

 industrial technology by U.S. firms and their implications for the U.S. 

 economy. The study is based upon a series of case studies in five industries — 

 aircraft, automotive, computers, consumer electronics, and chemical engi- 

 neering — as well as a general survey of these five sectors. The analysis focuses 

 on the release of unique and proprietary technology by U.S. firms to non- 

 controlled foreign enterprises."

"Contrary to the conventional wisdom, U.S. firms may contribute to both 

 the deterioration of the U.S. trade balance and to the loss of U.S. technical 

 leadership by establishing foreign manufacturing affiliates and by licensing 

 their technology to foreign manufacturers."

Analyzes the factors influencing such diffusion and tests a proposed model 

 of the process using data on two innovations in the Western European steel 

 industry.
