The Welfare Effects of Disarmament on the United States Under Nato and the Warsaw Pact
通过将配给理论融入联盟经济学,构建裁军模型,并利用成本函数衡量裁军条约带来的福利收益,同时分析裁军对发达国家向发展中国家外援的影响,以美国在美苏相互裁军下的情况为例。
This paper develops a model of disarmament by incorporating rationing theory into the economic theory of alliance. In order to provide an econometric measure of welfare gain from a disarmament treaty, the author employs the cost functions predicated on rationed and unrationed demand systems. By combining the economic theory of foreign aid with that of alliance, the author examines the impact of disarmament on the developed economies' foreign aid to developing countries as a peace dividend. The model is applied to the case of the U.S. economy under mutual disarmament between NATO and the Warsaw pact. Copyright 1996 by MIT Press.
