TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - The demand for defense in East Asia: Modeling security alternatives JO - Defence and peace economics A1 - Adams, F. Gerard A1 - Ciprut, Jose V. SP - 43 EP - 58 VL - 6 IS - 1 N2 - An interactive economic model of military spending is proposed. It is quantified on the basis of cross section data for East Asia. Projections of military spending to the end of the decade suggest that the growth of military spending in the region will decline slightly in the current decade. East Asian military spending can, however, be greatly influenced by the path of Chinese and US military efforts. An expansion of military spending by China could cause neighboring countries to greatly increase their military expenditures.
