The present value criterion in military investments
IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, 1967Since the benefits of a military investment are not marketable, the investment itself is also not marketable. It follows, in particular, that there is no way in which the cost profile of such an investment can even conceptually be varied, except by government borrowing or by adoption of an alternative investment.

Non-Military Justifications for Investment in Military R and D
1989The connection between military-oriented and civilian technology (and scientific) research dates back a long time, but only recently has world-wide attention been paid to it. There are two reasons for this. The first is the large proportion of public funds invested in military research, 70–90 billion dollars a year on a world-wide scale (of which 85 ...

Long-term forecasting of investments in civil and military transport aviation
Studies on Russian Economic Development, 2007The quantitative approach to the analysis of the development of the civil and military-transport air fleet described in this paper lends itself to similar analyses of investment activity in different transport aircraft markets, the rating of investment opportunities, and the forecasting of purchases and joint technical projects.

Non-Military Justification for Investments in Military Technologies
1989It is sometimes assumed that non-military justifications play a part in the choice of the military technologies in which a country will invest. Such justifications, however, play no part in decisions on military technologies — or defence Research and Development (R and D) — on the part of countries which have a potential adversary, are ultimately ...

Military expenditure and investment in OECD countries, 1954–1973
Journal of Comparative Economics, 1980This paper, using data for 14 large OECD countries between 1954 and 1973, tests the hypothesis that reduced investment has been a major opportunity cost of military expenditure in the postwar period. The share of investment in potential output is made a function of the share of military expenditure, growth rate, and demand pressure.
