Economic Incentives and the Defense Procurement Process
运用经济激励理论分析国防采购中的激励问题,探讨政府与国防企业之间以及政府内部的激励困境,并提出改进采购流程的方向。
This paper describes some of the insights that the economic theory of incentives can contribute to defense procurement policy analysis. It describes the underlying incentive problems that shape the defense procurement problem, the nature of current institutions and how they affect actors’ behavior, and possible directions for improving the procurement process suggested by viewing it as a solution to a complex set of incentive problems. Incentive problems between government and defense firms and incentive problems within government are both considered.
