{"title":"Practical Integration of Positive and Normative Approaches to Cost-Benefit Analysis of National Defense Spending","authors":"David Blau","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2377638","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2377638","url":null,"abstract":"Cost-benefit analyses for national defense spending can suffer from industry trade association biases evident in inflated supposed gains from industrial multiplier effects. At the same time, ideological presumption of normative values to either increasing or decreasing defense spending (and therefore presence) by the US ignores a more effective analytic framework: first quantifying the purely financial costs of defense spending: immediate cash expense, and increased borrowing costs and slower growth due to increased debt; and the purely financial benefits: the most accurate multiplier effect.This is still only the first part of the story. Quantifying the above first allows us to evaluate the premium we may be paying for defense as a public good. This positive approach could be complemented by a normative one that ignores rhetoric, but simply attempts to assign particular defense spending line items to the particular percent reduction in the chance of a possible conflict (with an identifiable cost) to which it contributes, and use this expected value to determine the return-on-investment of defense as public good. While this framework is tested on the sequestration cuts (for the positivist component) and the costs of potential conflict in Sudan (for the normative one, where ideally defense spending items could be traced to the expected value of their ability to reduce the chance of that conflict occurring), it can be extended to any defense investment decision. This framework is hopefully preferable to anything short of combining sophisticated input-output models with a wargaming simulation.","PeriodicalId":357131,"journal":{"name":"Netspar Research Paper Series","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130004320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kalwij","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2236899","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2236899","url":null,"abstract":"This paper adds to the empirical literature on health as an important determinant of employment at older ages by exploring the role in the health-employment nexus of the wage rates of 50 to 64-year-old workers. To do so, we use individual-level panel data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe to estimate a system of equations for health, wages and employment. Our model also takes into account both the potential for measurement error in the health variable and selectivity issues related to the wage equation. We find that for men (women) a one-unit (one standard deviation) increase in health yields, on average, a 7 (8) percentage higher hourly wage rate, resulting in a 2 (4) percentage point higher employment probability. We also show a direct impact of health on employment: a similar increase in health raises the employment probability of men (women) by 16 (13) percentage points. As regards differences between European countries, our findings suggest that for all country groups, the mediating role of wages in the health-employment nexus is relatively small while the direct impact of health on employment is relatively large and rather similar. Overall, our findings indicate only a minor role for disability income policies likes wage subsidies to encourage the employment of (older) workers with health limitations, but an instrumental role for policy aimed at helping employers accommodate these workers on the job and keep them employed at older ages.","PeriodicalId":357131,"journal":{"name":"Netspar Research Paper Series","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114953688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
