Abstract

This paper expounds on the relationship between defence expenditure and economic growth. By selecting defence expenditure and economic indicators including GDP, gross value of imports and exports, fuel import and export value and foreign direct investment in the US from 1991 to 2010 as sample spaces, the paper is modeled on some analytical methods as ADF test, cointegration analysis and Grainger causality test. The paper analyzes the long-term equilibrium relationship between defence expenditure and economic growth, concluding that economic growth is the Granger cause of defence expenditure growth. Meanwhile, defence expenditure growth will have a positive impact on economic growth.
