About the Chapter
Chapter 4 | Space assets as critical infrastructure? The socio-economic value of space infrastructure in Japan
Very little research has been produced to try to quantify the value of space assets for society and the potential damage that a disruption of space-based services would incur. This chapter explores whether, in a similar manner to other critical infrastructures, space assets hold a significant value in our society due to the difficulties faced in substituting them with alternatives. It further proposes a simple theoretical model to comprehend the macroeconomic benefits of vital space assets from a governmental standpoint.
