Matteo Paone, Nicola Sasanelli AEROSPACE CLUSTERS - World’s Best Practice and Future Perspectives 3 Acknowledgements This report constitutes the conclusion of a three-month research activity carried out in Defence SA, and it has widely benefitted from the direct and indirect contribution of many people to whom I am beyond grateful. First and foremost, I would like to thank Mrs. Sherri Dawson for the extraordinary patience demostrated during the revision of my drafts. Thanks to the whole Defence SA team for the wonderful working environment created, and to Mrs. Sarah Strathearn for all the assistance and the precious suggestions provided during the four weeks we have been working together. A special mention goes to Mr. Michael Davis, President of the Space Industry Association of Australia, for the assistance provided and for his kind words of appreciation towards this report. I would like to thank sincerely Mr. Michael Delachapelle from The Boeing Company for his kind availability, his invaluable suggestions and his help in providing useful material. My sincerest gratitude to my supervisor, Mr. Nicola Sasanelli, for the support provided and for being an inexhaustible source of priceless advice.

Aerospace clusters differ consistently from other high-tech clusters, particularly with respect to the geographical dimension of their economic impact and the related knowledge spillovers. As a result of the sector’s unique features – namely the global dimension of the value chain, the average size of the investment, the length of the development process of a new product/service, the strategic importance of the aerospace industry for the national economy, and the very nature of the products and services delivered – aerospace clusters exhibit higher levels of internationalisation. The common practice of collaboration among clusters in international aerospace programs creates wide and deep networks for commercial relations and knowledge transfer that cross the traditional regional dimension, acquiring stronger international connotations. The analysis carried out on an heterogeneous sample of clusters - in terms of location, geomorphological features, governance, date of establishment, government support, extension of the value chain – clearly points out the presence of common elements that are vital in determining the success of the world’s best practice. The clusters considered are: the Aerospace Valley of Tolouse, the BavAIRia Aerospace Cluster, the Luft- und Raumfahrt Baden-Württemberg cluster, the Bangalore Aerospace Cluster, the Lombardia Aerospace

  • The Reason Given for the UK's Decision to Float Sterling Was the Weight of International Short-Term Capital
    - Issue No. 181 No. 190, July 6, 1972 The Pound Afloat: The reason given for the U.K.'s decision to float sterling was the weight of international short-term capital movements which, despite concerted intervention from the Bank of England and European central banks, had necessitated massive sup­ port operations. The U.K. is anxious that the rate should quickly o.s move to a "realistic" level, at or around the old parity of %2. 40 - r,/, .• representing an effective 8% devaluation against the dollar. A w formal devaluation coupled with a wage freeze was urged by the :,I' Bank of England, but this would be politically embarrassing in the }t!IJ light of the U.K. Chancellor's repeated statements that the pound was "not at an unrealistic rate." The decision to float has been taken in spite of a danger that this may provoke an international or European monetary crisis. European markets tend to consider sterling as the dollar's first line of defense and, although the U.S. Treasury reaffirmed the Smithsonian Agreement, there are fears throughout Europe that pressure on the U.S. currency could disrupt the exchange rate re­ lationship established last December. On the Continent, the Dutch and Belgians have put forward a scheme for a joint float of Common Market currencies against the dollar. It will not easily be implemented, since speculation in the ex­ change markets has pushed the various EEC countries in different directions. The Germans have been under pressure to revalue, the Italians to devalue. Total opposition to a Community float is ex­ pected from France (this would sever the ties between the franc and gold), and the French also are adamant that Britain should re­ affirm its allegiance to the European monetary agreement and return to a fixed parity.
