Effects on National Economy
“The JAS 39 Gripen development program
has generated (in the Swedish economy)
an additional social return to society ( a
spillover multiplier) more than twice the
original development investment.”
Gunnar Eliasson, Professor, Royal Institute
of Technology and the RATIO Institute,
2009.
