Held on 26 and 27 October 2023 in Ottawa, Canada, the 18th edition of this workshop on defence and security economics brought together around thirty specialists from the United States, Canada and Europe (Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, etc.).

Josselin Droff presented work done with Jade Guiberteau and Julien Malizard entitled « The Influence of Strategic Procurement on the Performance of the European Naval Defense Industry ».

  • Thanks to a original database, This work focuses on production time for large surface buildings in service in 2022 in 8 European countries (France, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark and Norway).
  • Le building production time is a major capacity indicator in a context of political will to speed up production (competition between major naval powers, protection of critical infrastructures at sea and under the sea, the fight against maritime piracy, etc.).
  • Econometric analysis highlights the existence of’learning effects. Furthermore, considering the’origin of on-board sub-systems (national production, European or American imports and European cooperation), it can be seen that equipment from European imports reduces production time, an important factor in European industrial strategy. The proportion of US sub-systems, on the other hand, has no effect on production time.
