Abstract

Although the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’s data on the 100 largest arms (and military services) producing firms is very widely used for various purposes, there is relatively little quantitative statistical analysis of it. This article discusses some of the issues involved in the econometric analysis of the data. This is complicated by the difficulty of modeling the processes of mergers, acquisitions, and divestments which drives entry and exit from the list. Various models are estimated to examine (a) the relationship between arms sales and military expenditure, (b) the evolution of concentration and the size distribution of firms, (c) the cross-section relationship between size and growth of firms, (d) the times-series properties of the arms sales of individual firms, and (e) of arms sales by country of ownership.
SIPRI武器工业数据库定量分析中的问题
尽管斯德哥尔摩国际和平研究所关于100家最大武器(和军事服务)生产公司的数据被广泛用于各种目的,但对其进行相对较少的定量统计分析。本文讨论了数据计量经济学分析中涉及的一些问题。由于合并、收购和撤资过程的建模困难,这使情况变得复杂,这些过程推动了名单的进入和退出。估计了各种模型来检验(a)武器销售与军费之间的关系,(b)企业集中度的演变和规模分布,(c)企业规模与增长之间的横截面关系,(d)单个企业武器销售的时间序列属性,以及(e)按拥有国划分的武器销售。
