dc.description.abstractThis paper examines the impact of military expenditure on economic growth on a large balanced panel, using an exogenous growth model and dynamic panel data methods for 104 countries over the period 1988-2010. The prime objective of the paper is to consider the possibility of non-linearity, group heterogeneity and endogeneity within the sample. Having estimated and appraised a full sample, it is stratified based upon a range of potentially relevant factors; different levels of income, conflict experience, natural resource abundance, openness and aid. Following the stratification process, a set of instrumental variables are taken for military spending. Using 2SLS and a dynamic Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) method, the sample is regressed to identify for military expenditure.en_ZA
