In December, OECD produced a policy brief and a policy paper on subisidies in the industry of semiconductors.
Much has changed in this field since the early days of innovation in the industry and the early roles of governments as customers, sources of funding, and guardians and implementers of regulations. Government involvement shows no sign of abating, the OECD points out, and is in fact taking on new forms — subsidies, support, regulation, and the impacts of these on competition, domestically and internationally.
For both the brief and the report, visit the OECD website here: http://www.oecd.org/trade/let-the-chips-fall-where-they-may
