Abstract:
|
The effect of violent conflict on the public health of societies is an important consequence of war to which not much attention has been paid. There are several direct and indirect ways in which involvement in conflict undermines population health, including diversion of resources from health expenditures to defense spending. I argue that conflict compels states to reallocate resources in favor of defense and this results in reductions in health spending. I assess the relationship between militarized conflict and government spending by estimating a system of equations, using Zellner's seemingly unrelated regression. I find strong evidence that involvement in armed conflict leads to a trade-off between health and defense expenditures. |
