It presents a picture of the industry's response and adaptation to events, the path of output and the movement of capital and labor, and the influence of government policies on these adaptations. The author considered both government policies directly related to trade effects and to declining industries, and also more general policies that may have influenced the ability of U.S. machine tool firms to react to a variety of forces unlike anything the industry had witnessed in its long history.  aAlso available on the internet via WWW in PDF format.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aMachine-tool industryxGovernment policyzUnited States. 0aMachine-tool industryzUnited States.2 aRand Corporation.2 aU.S.-Japan Foundation of New York. 0aRand note ;v3079.41yOnline Accessuhttp://www.rand.org/pubs/notes/N3079/
