“…The average improvement in annual sales of recipient firms attributable to the institute's R&D activities was valued at KRW 390 million (USD 330 000). Technology transfers were directly related to 20.3% of these additional sales (Park, 2020 [52]). Furthermore, the utilisation by "internal" and "third party" actors of KARI facilities indicated significant growth in external usage over the years.…”

Why a new Handbook on Measuring the Space Economy?Space activities are growing globally, and the services derived from them are increasingly important to society. This second edition of the Handbook on Measuring the Space Economy responds to the needs of policymakers from multiple economic sectors that are reflecting on such changes in their measurement strategies. It takes account of the evolving landscape of space activities, technologies and user needs surrounding two core observations: Increasingly, a wide diversity of actors is involved in space activities: Government actors more than ever pursue strategic objectives in the space economy in tandem with commercial actors. A better tracking of the effects of public and private expenditure in the space economy is required if the overall impact of such trends is to be assessed. Studying the economics of space activities has become professionalised but measuring the space economy remains a challenge: The range of space activities has evolved significantly over the past ten years. Critical infrastructures such as telecommunications and an increasing number of commercial digital applications now depend heavily on space capabilities. In advanced economies, the space economy is becoming more complex and the line between space and nonspace activities is increasingly difficult to assess.

Ce guide a été développé dans le cadre du projet Tosca MISE-IDS (Mesure des impacts socio-économiques des infrastructures de données spatiales) financé par le CNES (Centre national d'études spatiales) en 2018 et 2019. Ce travail a aussi bénéficié d'une aide de l'État gérée par l'Agence nationale de la recherche au titre du Programme d'investissements d'avenir, projet Equipex Geosud portant la référence ANR-10-EQPX-20 et qui s'est déroulé de 2010 à 2020.Les auteurs tiennent à adresser tous leurs remerciements aux différentes personnes qui ont répondu aux enquêtes (entretiens semi-directifs, questionnaires) pour l'évaluation d'infrastructures de données spatiales (Geosud, pôle Theia) et de produits associés (cartographie des coupes rases en forêt, cartes d'occupation des sols) dont certains résultats sont repris dans ce guide. Ils remercient aussi Georges Aboueldahab et Camille Cousin qui ont effectué leurs stages de master sur ces projets.Le contenu de ce guide découle également de travaux préliminaires engagés dès 2015 en collaboration avec l'association SIG-LR, la société Edater et le Conseil national de l'information géographique (CNIG). Qu'ils en soient ici remerciés.

“…We use a microeconomic approach to establish a framework for the value of information, an approach described in detail in several studies (Macauley 2005;Pearlman et al, 2016;Bernknopf et al, 2018;Abt Associates 2018;Pearlman et al, 2019). The premise of this framework is that data have value when they are used in decision-making.…”

This paper describes the process, and lessons learned in a preliminary benefits study of a proposed infrared hyperspectral sounder (HSS) for NOAA’s next generation geostationary satellite program (GeoXO). The valuation of government-owned satellite systems providing a public good with a complex array of instruments is a nascent field of study. Many different sensor configurations are possible, but there are restrictions due to physical and budget constraints. Accounting for economic considerations during the design and planning phase for satellite constellations helps to ensure that the most cost effective instruments are selected. To assess whether the HSS instrument should be included on GeoXO, we applied a value of information approach and found the benefits associated with this instrument are likely to substantially outweigh the costs. Value of information studies often focus on data and information that has a direct use case. Estimating benefits for the HSS is especially challenging because data are not used directly by decision makers. Instead these data along with information from other Earth observing (EO) satellites play a key role in producing the inputs necessary for modern numerical hydrometeorological modeling. We describe strategies to assess the marginal (i.e., incremental) contribution of an instrument that is part of a complex information production process. We make several recommendations that, if implemented, would improve the quality of future studies of this kind. This includes (1) a systems approach to observing system planning, (2) improving the design of observing system experiments (OSSE and OSE), and (3) better tracking of the decisions and needs of end-users, especially those external to the agency.
