“…From the military sector, the opposite facts are revealed by a few studies (e.g., Dunne & Smith, 1990;Alptekin & Levine, 2012;Manamperi, 2016;Yildirim & Sezgin, 2003). They found an opposite fact where they considered that government spending on the military and defense had no effect on labor absorption from the military defense sector in developed countries, but has a significant impact on government spending on the military industry on economic growth for developing countries (Chen et al, 2014;Islam, 2015) including government spending in the forestry sector (Whiteman et al, 2015).…”

The purpose of this study is to provide benefits and ethically-rooted managerial implications based on theoretical underpinnings through an empirical study using correlation between wages, bank credit, government expenditure on economic growth, and employment via a case study in Indonesia. Besides that, managerial implications strive to provide benefits to the government regarding the importance of establishing effective and pro-development regulations to realize economic growth and employment through the efficient role of wages, bank credit, and government spending. This study uses secondary macroeconomic data from the period 2010-2019 with analysis using the correlation test with the Pearson correlation method. Out of eight hypotheses tested, two hypotheses do not have a significant correlation. The details of the statistical results obtained the following correlations: the correlation between bank credit and wages has a significant, but indirect (negative) correlation. However, the correlation between bank credit and economic growth has a direct and significant (positive) correlation. Government expenditure correlates positively with wages, but correlates negatively with bank credit. Wages are positively correlated with economic growth, but have no significant effect on employment. Finally, economic growth has a positive correlation with government expenditure, but does not have a significant correlation with employment.

“…They concluded that economic growth is positively related to military spending in the developed countries. Another strand of this literature relates corruption and non-democratic political regimes to military spending, see among others Gupta et al (2001) and Islam (2015). This literature finds that in less developed countries military spending may be negatively related to economic growth.…”

In this paper, I argue that a peaceful environment can be created by opening up the trade between the countries of the Mediterranean basin, preferably by bilateral and multilateral agreements like the ones which established the European Union and the Eurozone. Data on military spending, trade and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 20 Mediterranean countries are used in a simple descriptive analysis to identify the relation between military spending and international trade, and military spending and economic growth. The descriptive evidence shows that military spending differs considerably between the twenty Mediterranean countries examined in this study. There is a negative relation between international trade and military spending. Tests show that the causality runs from trade to military spending. Military spending does not seem to have an effect on economic growth.

“…The increase in medical resources corresponds to an increase in social security, tranquility, safety, and welfare of a country. It helps severely ill people to shorten the recovery time and return to work ( 2 ), thus improving the overall labor efficiency and achieving the purpose of promoting sustainable economic development. However, excessive medical service input and rapid increase in medical service fee standards have led to the national cost crisis.…”

With the rapid development of the economy of China, the interactivity between provinces and the mobility of the population is increasing. Some patients who could have received the same treatment in their residential areas still choose to receive services in areas with higher economic development and concentrated high-quality medical resources, resulting in a huge waste of medical resources. Blindly increasing medical resources everywhere does not necessarily increase the output effectively. In this study, the data envelopment analysis (DEA) model, social network analysis (SNA), cluster analysis, and regression analysis are used to analyze the structural characteristics of the economic network structure and efficiency of health care in China. The results show that indegree and eigenvector centrality have a significant positive correlation with the efficiency of health care, and the clustering coefficient has a significant negative correlation with the efficiency of health care in China. This study uses a k-means algorithm to classify 31 provinces into three groups and extract their characteristics. As for the supply of health care resources, the government should command and dispatch the resources in the whole country through a top-down design based on the characteristics of each province.
