The Relationship between Co2emissions and Military Effort

Abstract

The relationship between environment and growth is a conventional theme in economics, (Stern (2004); Dinda (2004) and Dasgupta et al (2002)) so is the relationship between military effort and growth (Dunne and Birdi (2001); Dimitraki and Menla (2015); Dunne (2010)). However, there is almost no study that addresses the possible interactions between military effort, environment and growth. Although remarkable are the merits of the contributions proposed within these separate lines of studies, we argue that they don’t get grip on all the aspects of military effort. This lack of connection in research leaves many empty spaces between these different aspects, yet closely interacted. This article intends to contribute to fill this gap.
