| In a stochastic endogenous growth model, the effects of military spending on economic growth are explored. In addition to the traditional crowding-out effect, we show that the portfolio effect also plays an importance role in determining growth rate in a small open economy. We find that there exists a non-linear relationship between the defense burden and the economic growth. |
