“…In fact, the estimation of performance efficiency of defence-related business has always been a challenge (Hartley, 2018). No doubt, the performance efficiency of defence-related production is the key source for the future growth of the industry (Kollias & Rafailidis, 2003).…”

This study explores the economic performance that vicarious warfare can bring for the aerospace and defence industry. First, this study measures the performance of 22 companies using a nonradial dynamic data envelopment analysis model from 2011 to 2017. Second, this study evaluates whether vicarious warfare can influence the performance. The efficiency analysis suggests rooms for improvements meanwhile, the projection analysis suggests that market value should be significantly increased, and the number of employees should be reduced significantly. The regression analysis suggests that the number of times a country takes a side in wars would positively affect the efficiency of companies.

“…Second, under a microeconomic perspective, the study on the defence industry is also very prolific, and a line of research has evaluated the efficiency of several productive units using some type of efficiency methodology, including DEA. The diversity of themes covered in this group exceeds the limits of this paper, although the works of Kollias (1993), Alifantis and Kollias (2000) and Kollias and Rafailidis (2003) marked a turning point. Nevertheless, and at least in the EU context, the efficiency of the industry has been the main concern for a decade.…”

PurposeThe improvement in the efficiency of public management leads to an increase in the quality of services, boosting confidence in institutions and thus generating a multiplier effect. This paper aims to update the literature on the data envelopment analysis (DEA), which uses a frontier methodology, for measuring the efficiency applied to the defence sector.Design/methodology/approachTwo main research areas are related through this study: Defence Economics and Efficiency and Productivity Analysis. The frontier methods for measuring technical efficiency are grouped into parametric, non-parametric and semi-parametric. The DEA literature review in the selected sector allows to identify three main fields of work that are discussed in detail.FindingsExisting empirical research has hardly applied bootstrapping methods to remove bias from the estimates. No empirical work has applied an analysis of efficiency determinants by the inclusion of exogenous variables.Originality/valueThe managerial implications of efficiency are numerous. A line of research is proposed to examine the extent to which efficiency improvements have an impact on reputation and, therefore, on the image of and confidence in institutions. The link between Defence Economics and Corruption Economics is also considered.

“…The HDIB mainly produces products of modest technological content that do not secure HNDF supply lines and sustainment (Ploumis 2017;Kollias & Rafailidis, 2003;Dunne, Nikolaidou, & Mylonidis, 2003;Curtis, 1994). However, it includes shipyards with dual civilian and military roles as well as some very innovative enterprises that make a significant amount of exports in cutting-edge defense equipment components.…”

The Hellenic National Defense Forces (HNDF) modernization is at a crossroads because of the current and persistent Greek economic and fiscal crisis. After WW II until today, Greece benefitted from the U.S. security assistance and cooperation programs. Meanwhile, the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean regions geostrategic environment is changing fast to an unpredictable future. That said, Greece, and the U.S.A. under rebalanced approaches, should consider the U.S. security assistance and defense cooperation programs to meet HNDF modernization requirements and current security challenges for both countries in the region. A new framework of cooperation would serve common national security interest of both Greece and the United States in the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean regions.
