Abstract

International audience; Measures of the effect of military expenditure on the economy had tended to rely input-output or international cross-section models than rather time-series estimates. We estimate the effect of military expenditure on investment, employment and growth on France and UK. The main results suggest that military expenditure tends to reduce investment and increase unemployment. It has a positive immediate effect on growth, but when the system feedbacks are taken into account the net effect is negative.; Les mesures de l'effet des dépenses militaires sur l'économie ont eu tendance à s'appuyer sur des modèles inputs-outputs ou des modèles transversaux internationaux plutôt que sur des estimations de séries chronologiques. Nous estimons l'effet des dépenses militaires sur l'investissement, l'emploi et la croissance en France et au Royaume-Uni. Les principaux résultats suggèrent que les dépenses militaires tendent à réduire l'investissement et à augmenter le chômage. Elles ont un effet positif immédiat sur la croissance, mais lorsque les rétroactions du système sont prises en compte, l'effet net est négatif.
