Abstract

Describes current methods, based on staff numbers and other inputs, and sets out proposals for improvements to these measuresThis article describes current methods for measuring defence in the UK National Accounts, based on staff numbersand other inputs. It sets out proposals for improvements to these measures, making better use of information on the composition of military staffing and spending. It also discusses some innovative proposals for the direct measurement of defence output. One such measure could be based on activities, for example, the proportion of Armed Forces personnel engaged in military operations or training. Another measure could be of ‘capabilities’ based on the quality and readiness for use of personnel and equipment. Economic & Labour Market Review (2009) 3, 44–52; doi:10.1057/elmr.2009.8
