This paper investigates the effect of military involvement in politics on budgetary allocations for defence. We employ a variety of econometric models, including pooled OLS and panel data with fixed effects and control for other known determinants of military spending. To deal with endogeneity issues, we also use an IV methodology and find that a higher degree of military involvement in policy-making increases the probability that the military obtain a larger share of output.

“…In the literature, nondemocratic regimes are generalized as military regimes, single-party regimes, and single man regimes. Military expenditures in military regimes are considered to be higher than those in other autocracy regimes (Kim, Kim and Lee 2013). Another unexpected situation in a positive relationship is that high military expense encourages the coup in autocratic regimes (Acemoglu et al 2010).…”

“…The reasons for the increase in military expenditures in autocratic regimes are the establishment of post-coup order, the arms race in neighboring states, the presence of internal and external conflicts, and sudden imbalances in population changes. (Bove and Brauner 2016, Kim, Kim and Lee 2013, Mulligan, Gil and Sala-i-Martin 2004 There are also different types of democratic regimes. While social democratic regimes have the least military expenditure, it is observed that the presidential system spends more than the parliamentary systems.…”

The relationship between military expenditures and economic growth has been widely studied in the literature. However, there are no studies focusing on the relationship between military expenditures and economic freedom in the literature. In countries with high levels of economic freedom, democratic regime transitions are more comfortable. Therefore, military expenditures are expected to decrease as potential internal turmoil, and external threats will be reduced in countries with high economic freedom. This study examines the relationship between military expenditures and economic freedom in 13 MENA countries

“…As Geddes et al (2012, p.9) point out, "this probably says more about what the creators of Polity scores chose to measure than it does about anything else". It is worth mentioning in more detail the paper by Kim et al (2013), which makes use of a different dataset to explore a similar question. The authors use the dataset by Cheibub, Gandhi and Veerland (2010), which differentiate between monarchies, military regimes and a residual category, which they refer to as "civilian regimes".…”

This paper examines whether there are systematic differences in military spending between different types of autocratic regimes. We view military expenditure as an instrument a dictator can exploit in order to stay in power. How he utilises this instrument depends on the institutional set up of his regime. We distinguish between military regimes, single party states and personalist regimes and predict that military regimes should have the highest, whereas personalist dictatorships should have the lowest level of military spending. Using panel data on 64 dictatorships from 1960 to 2000, we find empirical evidence that our hypotheses are not rejected.
