Reframing Space: Macroeconomists Engage Outer Space with the Help of Scenario Planning
Journal of Futures Studies
(2022)
Abstract
Macroeconomists typically do not examine space because they have insufficient knowledge of the potential economic significance. The Oxford Scenario Planning Approach provided a means to illustrate the intersection of factors affecting both macroeconomists and space policy makers alike. Earth-serving and exo-Earth components both pose opportunities and potential macroeconomic risks for the global (terrestrial) economy which merit further examination. This paper outlines what such an examination might cover.
