Market Overview – Economic Factors

“For our part, the Federal Reserve will pursue its

statutory objectives of price stability and

maximum sustainable employment--the latter of

which we have learned can best be achieved in the

long run by maintaining price stability. This is the

surest contribution that the Federal Reserve can

make in fostering the economic prosperity and

well-being of our nation and its people.”

Alan Greenspan, Testimony before the Committee on Financial Services, U.S.

House of Representatives, Feb. 2005



2004 Highlights:

• Business investment was the largest contributor

– upturn in business inventories and a step-up

in equipment and software.

• Consumer spending increased in purchases of

services and nondurable goods.

• Real disposable personal income increased.

Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Dept. of Commerce, January 28, 2005.



• Real growth in the service sector – accounting for about 2/3 of GDP –

continued trend of strong growth.

• Real growth in the goods sector – accounting for about 1/5 of GDP –

sharply increased in 2003.

• Goods sector decline in 2001 – due to a decrease in Real Value added

by Mining, Utilities, Manufacturing.

Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Dec. 20, 2004.



Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Dept. of Commerce, June 2004

• Net investment position became $197.7 billion more negative from 2002 to 2003, due to large net foreign

purchases of U.S. securities (corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities).

• Appreciation of most foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar raised the dollar value of U.S. owned assets

abroad – U.S. held foreign stocks. The U.S. portfolio investment abroad resulted in a higher net value than the

foreign portfolio investment in the U.S.

• Foreign acquisitions of assets in the U.S. were $829.2 billion in 2003 – the second largest on record after

$1,046.9 billion in 2000.

Is the U.S. Trade Deficit

Sustainable?

Institute for International Economics, Catherine L. Mann


Trade Gap Widens in 2004:

• The deficit increased $121.2 billion from $496.5 billion in 2003 to

$617.7 billion in 2004, as imports increased nearly twice as much as

exports.

• Largest increase in goods exports were in capital goods, industrial

supplies & materials, and consumer goods.

• Largest increase in goods imports were in industrial supplies &

materials, capital goods, and consumer goods.

• Deficit with China increased to $162.0 billion.

• Deficit with Japan increased to $75.2 billion.

(R&D budgets ‘ 05)

• Department of Defense - $43 billion• Department of Energy - $3.4 billion• National Science Foundation – $4.2 billion• National Aeronautics and Space Administration - $11.1

billion• National Institute of Standards and Technology (DOC) -

$695 million

• Total Federal R&D Portfolio for 2005 is estimated at

$131.5 billion.



Engineering Research Centers:

• There are currently 20 ERC’s within four general topic areas:

• Bioengineering (6 ERC’s)

• Design, Manufacturing, and Product Development Systems (5 ERC’s)

• Earthquake Engineering (3 ERC’s)

• Microelectronic Systems and Information Technology (6 ERC’s)


ERC’s are supported by various

sources of funds:

• NSF (the largest contributing

entity)

• Industrial partners

• Host academic institutions


National Laboratories (18):

• 17 Department of Energy:

– Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory: energy, environment, bioscience, biotechnology.

– Los Alamos National Laboratory: nuclear weapons and strategy.

– National Renewable Energy Laboratory: solar, biomass, wind, geothermal, advanced vehicles & fuels.

– Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory: fusion science.

• 1 National Aeronautics and Space Administration:

• Jet Propulsion Laboratory: technologies developed for space.


Spirit & Opportunity Mars

Rovers


Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers, I/UCRC :

There are currently 50 I/UCRC’s within eleven general topic areas:

• Advanced Electronics (4)

• Advanced Manufacturing (4)

• Advanced Materials (7)

• Biotechnology (4)

• Civil Infrastructure Systems (3)

• Information and Communication (9)

• Energy and Environment (4)

• Fabrication and Processing Technology (9)

• Health and Safety (3)

• Quality, Reliability and Maintenance (2)

• System Design and Simulation (1)


Organized research units with strong

industry guidance and financial

support:

• 75 % of budget must be supported

by a minimum of 6 companies.

• 25 % of budget supported by NSF.

• University based / cross-discipline

activities.


Main conclusions from our activities:

• Knowledge Centers are an excellent point of contact for leading edge R&D (public/private sectors).

• Knowledge Centers can provide the industry networks to market developing technologies.

• Since the mid 1980’s Portugal has focused its technology developments with other Member States – away from the U.S.

• A strong interest from U.S. R&D to establish collaborations in Europe – can lead to unique technology markets for Portuguese entities.
