Survey and review of the defense economics literature on Greece and Turkey: What have we learned?

This article contains a critical review of the literature on the economics of military affairs in Greece and Turkey as of December 1999. In particular, I review ( a) arms race models; (b) models of the demand for military expenditure; ( c) models measuring the economic impact of military expenditure; and (d) literature and issues related to indigenous arms production. I conclude with a number of summary lessons and observations of how future research might improve upon the existing body of work.
