Abstract

The arms trade is highly controversial and raises difficult policy issues. The controversies tend to concentrate on the moral, military and political dimensions of arms exports decisions. Quite a lot of light can be shed on this murky market by asking basic economic questions and using standard economic models. We begin with a structured economic description of the evolution of the international arms market in terms of the factors that influence demand and supply and thus prices and quantities. Then we review the policy issues faced by EU members: in particular, whether a common control regime is needed to harmonize their regulation of arms exports. To address these policy issues, we present some models of the market that we have developed and examine their implications for the interesting interactions that characterize the trade.

武器贸易
武器贸易极具争议性,并引发了棘手的政策问题。争议往往集中在武器出口决策的道德、军事和政治层面。通过询问基本的经济问题和使用标准的经济模型,可以对这个阴暗的市场有相当多的了解。我们首先从影响需求和供应,从而影响价格和数量的因素的角度,对国际武器市场的演变进行有组织的经济描述。然后,我们审查了欧盟成员国面临的政策问题:特别是,是否需要一个共同的控制制度来协调它们对武器出口的管制。为了解决这些政策问题,我们提出了一些我们开发的市场模型,并研究了它们对贸易特征中有趣的相互作用的影响。版权经济政策研究中心,经济研究中心,人类科学馆,1997年。
