About
Olga N. Gilkova is a forward-thinking researcher whose work explores the intersection of defense innovation and economic growth. Her primary research area centers on the strategic role of military research and development (R&D) as a catalyst for future economies, examining how state-funded defense projects can generate dual-use technologies that drive civilian sector productivity and national competitiveness. In her most-cited paper, "Military Research and Development as a Driving Force for the Economy of the Future" (2022), Gilkova argues that defense R&D serves not only security needs but also as a powerful engine for technological spillovers, job creation, and industrial modernization. Though her citation count is still emerging—with this key work accumulating 2 citations—her contribution is notable for its timely relevance amid global debates on defense spending and innovation policy. Gilkova’s research offers a nuanced perspective for students and policymakers interested in the economic dimensions of military technology, positioning her as a rising voice in the field of defense economics and innovation studies.
