The report examines the effects of alternative shipbuilding programs and government procurement policies on the size and location of the US private shipbuilding industry and on the cost of ships. These effects are estimated from a linear programming model that simulates the activities of 15 private shipyards. (author).

Pages : 109
Book Description
The report examines the effects of alternative shipbuilding programs and government procurement policies on the size and location of the US private shipbuilding industry and on the cost of ships. These effects are estimated from a linear programming model that simulates the activities of 15 private shipyards. The model is used to test the implications of two alternative volumes of shipbuilding, encompassing naval and commercial ships. The smaller program (36 ships per year) is based on a projection of recent actions and plans, while the larger program (about 70 per year) includes much higher rates of both commercial and naval construction. Different delivery schedules are tested for each program. Any set of ship demands could be tested. (Author).

An Economic Analysis of Investment in the United States Shipbuilding Industry
Author: Nicholas A. Meyers
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 81
Book Description
Amidst the global economic recession and sizeable injections of federal stimulus packages, the U.S. Navy's budget for ship construction has experienced only modest real growth. While the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review has reaffirmed a fleet size goal of 313 ships, some suggest that 20 billion dollars or more per year is needed to attain this level of strategic resources. This research has analyzed the United States' shipbuilding industry as a potential source of economic stimulus using measures applied in the United Kingdom by economists at Oxford Economics. First, monetary impacts from the "ship building and repairing" sector were analyzed using U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) input/output data and the "Leontief inversion process" modeled at Carnegie Mellon University. This sector was compared with five alternative investments. Second, the benefits of the shipyard-related labor market were analyzed using data from the BEA and Naval Sea Systems Command. Measures of capital intensity and capacity were then applied to companies representing five industries. The results suggest that U.S. shipbuilding generates monetary benefits comparable to alternatives, while supporting more labor than other sectors. Finally, excess capacity shows a clear ability to absorb an increase in demand, providing prompt and positive impact on sustainable economic recovery.

The Labor Market of the United States Shipbuilding Industry

Category : Labor turnover

Pages : 188
Book Description
This study presents a detailed analysis of the labor market of the United States shipbuilding industry. Primary emphasis is given to the wage rates and earnings in shipbuilding and their apparent impact on industry turnover and mobility. It appears that the noncompetitive wages and earnings of older, more experienced workers in shipbuilding results in a loss of these workers to the construction and durable manufacturing industries. To correct this loss, the findings suggest that the wages of older, more experienced shipbuilding workers be increased to levels competitive with those is other industries. In part, the resulting higher wage costs can be offset by dampening pay increases of young workers and through reduced training costs and improved productivity. (Author).
