“…Therefore it is more likely that there will be more spin-on (civil technology applied to the defence sector) than spin-off (defence technology used in the civil sector) cases in a country such as Finland. It should be noted that Kelly et al (21) argue against positive spin-off effects. However, they view the issue more from the general military spending perspective than the R&D spin-off perspective.…”

The objective of this paper is to discuss current challenges of specific collaboration mechanisms between the defence establishment and national defence industry and to present a holistic, conceptual co-operation model of systems approach, based on discussion to enhance that cooperation. This survey focuses mainly on problems that are related to defence technology and industrial strategies. A special emphasis is placed on collaboration activities and mechanisms between the above mentioned partners; technology programmes, industrial participation, defence centres of excellence and immaterial property rights to reveal collaboration dilemmas from various aspects. The conceptual model of systems approach pursues to manage cooperation activities and mechanisms comprehensively and so fulfil expectations placed for the collaboration both by the defence establishment and the industry. Applicability and value of the model is verified by risk analysis. The paper has a Finnish focus and it delineates the challenges identified with Finnish examples. However, the model that it represents is of universal application, especially for countries that do not have a comprehensive defence industry but import the major part of their materiel from abroad.

“…In essence, according to (d' Agostino et al, 2019), "the debate over the effects of military spending on growth continues to develop, with no consensus". A group of works found it is not sufficient to explain significantly the evolution of the gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate, as in (Deger and Sen, 1983;Chowdhury, 1991;Kelly and Rishi, 2003;Sala-i-Martin et al, 2004;Dunne et al, 2005;Gold, 2005;Yakovlev, 2007;Heo, 2010or Augier et al, 2017. Harding (1962) findings revealed that spending on defence has a long-term negative effect on economic growth and insignificant short-term impact.…”

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 traditional view of the defence industry obtaining large profits from contracts with the Ministry of Defence relies on several assumptions. Among these are the use of such arrangements as an instrument of industrial policy, the strong market power enjoyed by prime contractors, and the inefficiency encouraged by the sector. The findings show that defence contracts have a positive effect on profits, as well as the prizes for innovation and the market power enjoyed by some defence subsectors.Defence industry, Defence procurement, Profits, Spain,
