TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - An economic analysis of military intelligence JO - Defence and peace economics A1 - Ho, Shirley J. SP - 485 EP - 493 VL - 18 IS - 6 N2 - The purpose of this paper is to provide an economic analysis of military intelligence by using the approach in contract theory to understand when a spy will be hired by a country, why a spy will defect, and how the enemy can use a double agent to fight back. Most importantly, we will provide four solutions to this defection problem in a spy contract using related discussions in the economic literature.
