Julien Malizard, Deputy Chair of Defence Economics - IHEDN, is the author of a chapter on R&D funding in the book The uniqueness of defence and security finance, published this month by Mare & Martin.
Julien Malizard is the author of a chapter on the financing of research and development (R&D), entitled «Financing innovation in the armed forces». It is taken from the book The uniqueness of defence and security finance, coordinated by Mathieu Conan, Fabien Cardoni, Étienne Douat and Céline Viessant, and published this month by éditions Mare & Martin.
In this chapter, Julien Malizard analyses trends in public R&D expenditure defence in order to understand the nature of these budgetary impulses: does defence R&D benefit from a privileged status within defence spending? To answer this question, which has received little attention in the scientific literature, he uses a method of analysing the nature of budgets. This shows that R&D expenditure is relatively protected compared with other expenditure, particularly capital expenditure. This is probably linked to specific features of France's defence policy, based on deterrence, technological superiority and a complete army model.
This publication echoes Julien Malizard's speech at the 2nd Summer University of the Société Française de Finances Publiques (SFFP) dedicated to the uniqueness of defence and security finance.
