- Abstract
The investments in space programmes are often justified by the scientific, technological, industrial and security capabilities they bring. But these investments can also provide interesting socio-economic returns such as increased industrial activity, and bring cost efficiencies and productivity gains to other fields (e.g. weather forecasting, environmental monitoring and agriculture previsions). Recent work on the study of socio-economic impacts by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) will be presented.
