碩士 === 國防大學國防管理學院 === 國防財務資源研究所 === 97 === In international trade offset practices (in Taiwan known as Industrial Cooperation Program, ICP) have received increased attention over the past twenty years. In the coming ten years, the Taiwanese government may expend roughly US$16 billion for purchasing Patriot-III missiles, P-3 long-range anti-submarine planes, and diesel-engine submarines from the United States through foreign military sale, and can achieve US$8 billion ICP credit the largest in Taiwanese history. Offsets or ICP can be regarded as multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems, therefore, the interdependence and feedback between criteria or alternatives among MCDM methods should be considered. This paper proposes a novel hybrid MCDM model combined with DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) and ANP (The analytic network process) to solve the dependence and feedback problems to decide a suitable offset strategy. Finally, this paper also is to discuss with Taiwan’s ICP optimal offset transaction policy and propose a framework of drawing on ICP credit in future. The potential applications and strengths of MCDM in assessing the defense economic issues are highlighted.
