TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Arms export controls and emerging domestic producers JO - Defence and peace economics A1 - Levine, Paul A1 - Mouzakis, Fotis A1 - Smith, Ron SP - 505 EP - 531 VL - 11 IS - 3 N2 - The possibility of domestic production raises a difficulty for arms export control measures, since embargoes, by raising the effective price of imports, increase the incentive for domestic production. We address this issue by developing a partial equilibrium model of the international arms market We compare three arms export regimes involving the exporters of high-technology arms, with a particular focus on the effect of emerging domestic production: laissez-faire trade, the uncoordinated regulation of exports and a producer cartel consisting of coordinated regulation. The main conclusion is that the possibility of domestic production significantly changes the nature of these stylized export regimes.
