TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Arms production in developing nations: The relation to industrial structure, industrial diversification, and human capital formation JO - Defence economics A1 - Brauer, Jurgen SP - 165 EP - 175 VL - 2 IS - 2 N2 - This paper presents empirical research on physical capital, industrial diversification, and human capital developments in arms-producing and non-arms producing developing nations from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. Drawing on data from the United Nations and the World Bank, a close relation between arms production potential and actual arms production is found which evokes concern about policy-directions for successful arms control in the third world. The paper closes with brief reflections on third world arms production incentives.
