Abstract

Data on military spending is highly controversial, with important political implications. Blackhaby and Ohlson point out the lack of knowledge about military spending and the arms trade, and they raise questions about their definition and the existence of military secrecy. This chapter raises several questions, such as the quality of these data for the work of economists, the importance of military expenditure by item and content (nuclear or non-nuclear weapons), and the difficulty of the verification process.
