Abstract

SIPRI has become the main provider of quantitative information on military expenditure, especially for econometricians. However, during the Cold War, SIPRI was not always accurate in its estimates, as the US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (USACDA) was more accurate on the question of the magnitude of Soviet and Warsaw Pact military spending. SIPRI has taken this experience into account and has modified its series several times, providing a new comparative list of military expenditures for all countries over the last decade each year. Numerous reassessments (positive or negative) have been undertaken. The SIPRI effort is interesting. However, the data remains questionable and the results of the econometric analyses obtained are interesting but inconclusive, as they are difficult to verify.
