Military Expenditure and Economic Growth
This paper proposes to test the relationship between military expenditure and economic growth by including the impact of the share of military and civilian components of government expenditure in an economic growth model with endogenous technology. In this framework, we empirically consider the hypothesis of a nonlinear effect of military expenditure on economic growth. The comparison between c...
متن کاملMortality tempo-adjustment: Theoretical considerations and an empirical application
The number of scholars following the tempo approach in fertility continues to grow, whereas tempo-adjustment in mortality generally still is rejected. This rejection is irrational in principle, as the basic idea behind the tempo approach is independent of the kind of demographic event. Providing the first empirical application to a substantial problem, this chapter shows that mortality tempo-ad...
متن کاملSelf-referent phenotype matching: theoretical considerations and empirical evidence.
In most birds and mammals, young are raised in family groups. The phenotypes of nestmates and parents are thus reliable cues for recognition of conspecifics and kin. However, in some species, young develop alone, or in broods of mixed relatedness (e.g. because of multiple paternity or maternity), or among heterospecifics or unrelated conspecifics (brood parasites). Under these circumstances, th...
متن کاملInferring the direction of causation in cross-sectional twin data: theoretical and empirical considerations.
A recent multivariate extension of the classical twin study in theory allows the inference of the direction of causation between correlated traits solely using cross-sectional data. In this paper we briefly review this model and assess its usefulness by applying it to a number of pairs of biological and psychological variables between which the nature of the causative relationship is already kn...
متن کاملTheoretical and Econometric Issues in Analysing the Military Expenditure-Growth Nexus
This paper surveys some of the theoretical and econometric issues involved in estimating growth models that include military spending. In particular, it critically evaluates the commonly used Feder-Ram model, detailing its problems and limitations and suggesting a more acceptable theoretical approach. It also surveys the econometric issues involved in estimating these models and uses a panel of...
