Title: | Military expenditure and economic growth in Middle Eastern countries: A dynamic panel data analysis | Authors: | Yıldırım, Jülide Sezgin, Selami Öcal, Nadir |
Keywords: | Defence economics Dynamic panel data analysis Economic growth Military expenditure |
Abstract: | Defence expenditures have both costs and benefits to the economy. The costs of defence expenditures are mainly emphasized as opportunity costs. On the other hand, defence spending may have growth-promoting potential benefits: a rise in defence spending may result in a higher aggregate demand, production and employment. This paper examines empirically the effects of military expenditures on economic growth for Middle Eastern countries and Turkey, for the time-period 1989-1999. The relationship between military expenditure and economic growth is investigated by using cross-section and dynamic panel estimation techniques. Empirical analysis indicates that military expenditure enhances economic growth in the Middle Eastern countries and Turkey as a whole. © 2005 Taylor & Francis Group Ltd. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/11499/4826 https://doi.org/10.1080/10242690500114751 |
