Description
This paper provides an analysis of the sustainable competitive advantage of Florida firms as they compete in the aviation/aerospace sector, with special emphasis on the space industry. First, the theory of comparative advantage is reviewed, as well as its relevance to the theory of firm-level competitive advantage. Next, after a brief review of local history, recent actions taken by Florida policy makers will be reviewed to serve as “grist for the mill” of economic theory. Florida’s actions in light of theory will then be framed and implications offered
