The Effect of Declining Military Influence on Defense Budgets in Latin America
While military governments have often been a tradition in many Latin American countries, a relatively small and stable number of national resources are traditionally allocated to national defense. Recent studies on the determinants of defense spending in this region have employed data only through the mid-1980s. Since then, sweeping economic and political changes have occurred in the region. This article examines the factors influencing Latin Ame…
Defense expenditures and budgetary patterns in selected middle eastern and mediterranean countries
This paper examines the relationship between defense spending and budgetary allocations to various programs for twelve Middle Eastern and North African/Mediterranean countries in an attempt to see if spending patterns vary systematically with changes (both anticipated and unanticipated) in the budget deficit or defense expenditures. Detailed results are presented for Syria and Oman although general patterns are discussed for all countries. Not su…
Symposium introduction
Budgetary Consequences of Defense Expenditures in Pakistan
In the last twenty years, there has been a growing interest in quantifying the `guns versus butter' tradeoff facing developing countries. This article examines Pakistan's military expenditures between 1973 and 1986 and estimates both a short-run impact model and long-run adjustment model to measure how changes in the defense burden, the deficit, and government debt have affected budget allocations to economic services programs and administrative/…

The Relationship between Defence Spending and Economic Growth
Previous studies have assumed that defence spending caused eco nomic growth. In a recent paper, Joerding concluded that defence expenditures were not exogenous, and that previous studies were thus flawed. This paper suggests that Joerding's results may have been an artifact of pooling and assuming an arbitrary lag structure. By examining data for Indonesia between 1964 and 1985, it is concluded that a feedback relationship exists between defence …
Arms Races in the Third World
This article examines whether a significant part of Argentina's military budget over a 22-year span can be attributed to an arms race with Brazil. Multiple regression equations are estimated for the period 1961 and 1982 and several subperiods, taking into account Brazil's military spending, changes in political regimes in Argentina, and also the availability of economic resources allocated to the government. The results indicate that the rivalry …

Economic Determinants Of Latin American Defense Expenditures
This article examines the economic determinants of military spending levels in developing countries through a time-series analysis of 10 Latin American countries. The paper integrates a number of main themes in the defense economics literature. The results indicate that a large proportion of the observed variability in military budgets can be explained by one of four alternative models that include either economic variables (gross domestic produc…
Fiscal policy in Mexico
Consequences of Military and Civilian Rule in Argentina
This article examines whether budget allocations to nondefense programs in Argentina between 1961 and 1982 are dependent on the share to defense, the political regime, or both. Multiple regression equations are estimated and include the defense share, two control variables, and political dummies to test for changes in the intercept and slope of the equation as the regimes change. Regimes are differentiated between (a) the first civilian and first…
Profiles of current Latin American arms producers
In a recent article, Stephanie Neuman examines several critical factors that separate developing countries into arms producers and arms nonproducers. She ranks countries according to a weighted index of military production capability (derived from length of production, production capacity, and technical capabilities) and also according to the following seven socioeconomic indicators: population, land size, size of military, gross national product…
Defense Expenditures, External Public Debt and Growth in Developing Countries
This study reexamines the relationship between growth and defense spending in developing countries. It differs from previous studies as it recognizes differences in the borrowing capacity of each country. We hypothesize that a negative relationship will exist between defense and economic growth in countries which are financially resource constrained, and a positive relationship will exist in countries which are relatively resource unconstrained. …
Defense Expenditures and Economic Growth in Developing Countries
Defense Expenditures and Economic Growth in Developing Countries
Studies of the effect that defense spending has had on economic growth in less-developed countries have produced rather mixed results. We contend that this is because these studies have failed to take into account the relative financial constraints faced by individual countries. In an extension of the seminal work by Emile Benoit on defense spending and its effect on economic growth, I we hypothesize that relatively poor countries tend to cut bac…
The regional impact of infrastructure investment in Mexico
Looney R. and Frederiksen P. (1981) The regional impact of infrastructure investment in Mexico, Reg. Studies 15, 285–296. Using multiple regression analysis, production functions are estimated for Mexico to examine whether infrastructure's impact on GDP differs depending on the type of investment (economic or social overhead capital) or the type of recipient region (intermediate or lagging). This possibility has been suggested by Hansen. The stat…
