He was a member of the first generation of civilians devoted to strategic and military studies following World War II. From his perch at the RAND Corporation, he authored and advised on numerous early Cold War studies delineating strategy in the nuclear age. By the 1960s, he was an enabling intellectual partner to some of the era’s most prominent thinkers, among then Herman Kahn and Bernard Brodie. During that tumultuous decade, he advised the Central Intelligence Agency on a range of issues, many of which remain shrouded in secrecy. In the early 1970s he began working directly for the Department of Defense as the di- rector of Net Assessment, the Pentagon’s in-house think tank. In this capacity, Marshall has served seven presidents and 13 defense secretaries. In all these roles across nearly 65 years of service, Andy Marshall has contributed to America’s defense establishment like few others, in uniform or out. Certainly no one has matched his longevity at the task, and precious few have had a greater impact on the intellectual foundations of American strategy since World War II. In this masterful account, Lt Col John Schutte traces Marshall’s life and times until the point Marshall assumed his job with Net Assessment. Born of modest circumstances near Detroit, Marshall’s cerebral talents found succor in the vibrant Michigan public schools of the 1920s and ’30s. Factory work during World War II fired his quest for further education, taking him to graduate studies at the University of Chicago and then to RAND, the first “think tank,” in 1949. Schutte finds sinews between Marshall as a young man and his later persona as a mature analyst of foreign policy, especially in Marshall’s knack as an incubator and facilitator of group inquiry at RAND and the CIA. Despite Marshall’s long shadow over America’s defense establishment, there is no serious extant inquiry into his life. Schutte’s treatment of Marshall aims to rectify that situation as it re- lates to the first half of Marshall’s life. It succeeds most admirably. Colonel Schutte’s Casting Net Assessment: Andrew W. Marshall and the Epis- temic Community of the Cold War received the USAF Historical Foundation’s award for best School of Advanced Air and Space Studies history thesis of 2012. It stands as a model of broadly based, rigorous, and imaginative analysis to all who believe that strategic thinking can be profitably informed by cogent his- torical investigation. THOMAS ALEXANDER HUGHES Professor of Airpower History School of Advanced Air and Space Studies vii About the Author Lt Col John M. Schutte graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in history in 1999. He gained his commission through the Reserve Officer Training Corps and completed navigator training at Randolph AFB, Texas. He flew C-130s at Ramstein AB, Germany, prior to his selection for the Air Force Intern Program. As an intern, Colonel Schutte served rotations as a junior military assistant to the deputy secretary of defense and in the Head- quarters Air Force Concepts and Strategy Division. He went on to serve as a country director for the undersecretary of the Air Force for international af- fairs. Before attending the School of Advanced Air and Space Studies, he served as an instructor navigator and the director of staff for the 374th Airlift Wing at Yokota AB, Japan. Colonel Schutte is a senior navigator with over 1,600 flying hours and combat time in Operations Joint Forge, Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring Freedom. Following graduation from the School of Advanced Air and Space Studies, Colonel Schutte served in the chief of staff of the Air Force’s Strategic Studies Group, Headquarters Air Force, the Pentagon. He went on to command an expeditionary operations support squadron in Southwest Asia from June 2013 through June 2014. Colonel Schutte matricu- lated at Princeton in August 2014 to pursue a PhD in public and international affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School. ix Acknowledgments It takes a village to birth a School of Advanced Air and Space Studies (SAASS) thesis, and many deserve special acknowledgment. Thanks go first to the SAASS faculty for striving to impart the most important skill set to which we can aspire as military officers—the ability to think strategically. Theirs is a noble and sometimes fruitless cause. In my case, some deserve particular recognition for their mentorship and patience. Thank you to Dr. Stephen Chiabotti, Dr. James Forsyth, and Dr. James Kiras for encouraging me to pursue a lifelong goal and then not judging my subsequent vacillation. My appreciation also goes to Dr. Thomas Hughes for his mentorship, writing expertise, and friendship during this year. I benefited greatly from his talents as a teacher. Beyond the insular gates of the “best hometown in the Air Force,” several others gave generously of their time and energy. Foremost among them is Col J. R. Reid, USAF, retired. His mentorship has continued since first spotting the Blue Tail patch on my shoulder when I was a young lieutenant calling on the daughter of his German neighbor (my future wife) over a decade ago. I am a better officer and man because of it.

  • The Chief Management Officer of the Department of Defense: an Assessment
    DEFENSE BUSINESS BOARD Submitted to the Secretary of Defense The Chief Management Officer of the Department of Defense: An Assessment DBB FY 20-01 An assessment of the effectiveness, responsibilities, and authorities of the Chief Management Officer of the Department of Defense as required by §904 of the FY20 NDAA June 1, 2020 DBB FY20-01 CMO Assessment 1 Executive Summary Tasking and Task Force: The Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) (Public Law (Pub. L. 116-92) required the Secretary of Defense (SD) to conduct an independent assessment of the Chief Management Officer (CMO) with six specific areas to be evaluated. The Defense Business Board (DBB) was selected on February 3, 2020 to conduct the independent assessment, with Arnold Punaro and Atul Vashistha assigned to co-chair the effort. Two additional DBB board members comprised the task force: David Walker and David Van Slyke. These individuals more than meet the independence and competencies required by the NDAA. Approach: The DBB task force focused on the CMO office and the Department of Defense (DoD) business transformation activities since 2008 when the office was first established by the Congress as the Deputy Chief Management Officer (DCMO), and in 2018 when the Congress increased its statutory authority and elevated it to Executive Level (EX) II and the third ranking official in DoD. The taskforce reviewed all previous studies of DoD management and organizations going back twenty years and completed over ninety interviews, including current and former DoD, public and private sector leaders. The assessments of CMO effectiveness since 2008 are focused on the performance of the CMO as an organizational entity, and is not an appraisal of any administration or appointee.

    COMPETING FOR TALENT By Yuhta Ishii, Aniko Öry, and Adrien Vigier February 2018 COWLES FOUNDATION DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 2119 COWLES FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS YALE UNIVERSITY Box 208281 New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8281 http://cowles.yale.edu/ Competing for Talent Yuhta Ishii, Aniko Ory,¨ and Adrien Vigier∗ First Draft: August 2015 This Draft: February 2018 Abstract In many labor markets, e.g., for lawyers, consultants, MBA students, and professional sport players, workers get offered and sign long-term contracts even though waiting could reveal significant information about their capabilities. This phenomenon is called unraveling. We examine the link between wage bargaining and unraveling. Two firms, an incumbent and an entrant, compete to hire a worker of unknown talent. Informational frictions prevent the incumbent from always observing the entrant's arrival, inducing unraveling in all equilibria. We analyze the extent of unraveling, surplus shares, the average talent of employed workers, and the distribution of wages within and across firms.

How much defense is enough in the post–Cold War era?”1 Finding a satisfactory answer to these deceptively simple questions not only motivated the Bottom-Up Review but has arguably animated defense strategy for the past quarter century.

  • Impact of Trade on the Characteristics of the Digital Newspaper Market New Empirical Evidence from Francophone Africa
    Impact of Trade on the Characteristics of the Digital Newspaper Market New Empirical Evidence from Francophone Africa Anaïs Galdin May 22th, 2017 Abstract This paper provides a first empirical study of how openness to international trade in news products, a phenomenon largely facilitated by the digitalization of newspapers, may impact the characteristics of the information products available to consumers. Based on acasestudyoftheentryofFrenchmediafirmsinFrancophoneAfrica,webuildanew dataset of more than 800 000 newspaper articles over the period 2005 to 2017. Using text mining techniques, we construct a five-dimensional set of newspaper characteristics to qualitatively analyze newspaper data. Our evidences suggest that the entry of French digital newspapers, which produce a relatively low share of local news and whose websites are generally uniformly targeting all Francophone African countries, lead to a significant decrease of the diversity of subjects treated by Francophone African newspapers, charac- terized by a strong and significant increase of the share of local news, and a small decrease of the total number of articles related to France. We also find a slight but significant impact of the penetration of French digital newspapers on two indicators of newspaper format, namely a small increase of the average frequency of publication of Francophone African newspapers, and a very small decrease of the mean wordcount per articles. We believe the specific format of the news displayed on the web, generally significantly shorter than printed articles and with a higher publication rate, could explain the weakness of the effect on these two indicators.1 1I would like to thank my advisors, Julia CAGE and Thomas CHANEY, for their time, constructive discussions and invaluable advice.

I am sitting here with Tania Mota. We are interviewing Dan Figueredo in his home in Piscataway, New Jersey, on June 19, 2018, for the Latinos in New Jersey Project with Dr. Lilia Fernandez. We are going to start off at the very beginning. Can you please tell me when and where you were born? Dan Figueredo: I was born a long time ago. I was born in Cuba in 1951. I was born in the city of Guantanamo, which is fifteen miles away from the American base, but I was raised in Havana. Then, we left Cuba. My parents and I left Cuba in early 1965. CR: Can you describe the community in which you grew up in Cuba? DF: Well, my father worked for the government. His position, there's no equivalent for it, but it was a national position. It was in the Ministry of Public Works, which can be compared maybe to the State Department in the U.S. He was in charge of a project--the objective was to build highways connecting all of Cuba, that was the project. He was the guy in charge of making that project happen. We moved to a suburb that was modeled on an American-style suburb. Development in Cuba imitated a lot of what the U.S.

President George W. Bush campaigned on a pledge to transform the U.S. armed forces by “skipping a generation” of technology. A month after assuming office, he promised in a speech at the Norfolk Naval Base to “move beyond marginal improvements to harness new technolo- gies that will support a new strategy.” He called for the development of ground forces that are lighter, more mobile, and more lethal, as well as manned and un- manned air forces capable of striking across the globe with precision.1 Dr.

  • Mathematical Economics at Cowles1
    Mathematical Economics at Cowles1 Gerard Debreu Presented at The Cowles Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration, June 3, 1983 Introduction The first fifty years of Cowles were a period of profound and far-reaching transformation in the field of mathematical economics. A few numbers help one to perceive the depth and the extent of the change that took place in the half-century just ended. Both Econometrica and The Review of Economic Studies began publication in 1933. The first volume of the former for the calendar year 1933 and the first volume of the latter for the academic year 1933–34, together, devoted 165 pages to articles contributing to mathematical economics, by a liberal definition of terms. According to a stricter definition, the corresponding number of pages for the year 1982 was close to 4,000 for the five main periodicals in the field (Econometrica, Review of Economic Studies, International Economic Review, Journal of Economic Theory, and Journal of Mathematical Economics). No less remarkable was the metamorphosis of the American Economic Review. Its entire volume for the year 1933 contained exactly four pages where any mathematical symbol appeared, and two of them were in the Book Review Section. In contrast, in 1982 only five of the fifty-two articles published by the A.E.R. were free from mathematical expressions. Still another index of the rapid growth of mathematical economics during that period can be found in the increase in membership of the Econometric Society, which went from 163 on January 1, 1932 to 2,987 in 1982. Having heeded the demanding motto “Science is Measurement,” under which the Cowles Commission worked for its first twenty years, we may look at non-quantifiable aspects of the development of mathematical economics from the early thirties to the present.
