National security is a basic responsibility of national governments, but it is also intangible. What can economic analysis contribute? Benefit-cost analysis has rarely been applied because of the ambiguous and commons nature of the benefits.

Our innovation has been to add a spatial dimension to operational inter-industry models. |
