Dynamics of Arms Races: Mutual Stimulation vs. Self-Stimulation

The Political Economy of Military Spending in Israel

“…The methodology is explained in some detail in Ward 1984 and has been employed in a wide variety of studies in political science. (See Allan 1983;Lambelet, Luterbacher, and Allan 1979;and Luterbacher and Allan 1982 for single equation versions of the approach. Ward 1984, Ward and Mahajan 1985, Ward and Mintz 1987, and many macroeconomic studies such as Gandolfo 1981 andWymer 1972, among others, employ a system approach to minimization.…”

The Political Economy of Arms Races and International Tension

“…spending, although Lambelet and Luteibacher with Allan (1979) have demonstrated how compatible the internal and external models are. Further, the model itself is a linear one which cannot capture the cycles which are often evident in military expenditures (see Luterbacher, 1975;Rattinger, 1976). This is graphically demonstrated in the projections of Hollist and Johnston (1982) and Squires (1982).…”

State and prospect of public choice: A European view

“…Another has been to account for more sectors. A significant research area has been to analyze the relationship of the domestic civilian economy with the international military system in the form of arms races (see, for example, Allan, 1983;Lambelet and Luterbacher, 1979;Luterbacher, 1975). Finally, differences of institutional or constitutional conditions have been taken into account: the models extend beyond representative democracies and also consider authoritarian governments of communist countries (Lafay, 1979) and direct democracies such as Switzerland (Schneider, Pommmerehne and Frey, 1981).…”
