Lim challenges evidence showing that defense spending encouraged the economic growth of 44 less-developed countries (LDCs) over the 1950-65 periods by reexamining the relationship between defense and growth for 54 LDCs over the 1965-73 period. Regional analyses cover 21 African, 13 Western Hemisphere, 11 Asian, and 9 Middle Eastern and Southern European LDCs. The results show that defense spending was detrimental to economic growth, although adverse effects that were marked in Africa and the Western Hemisphere were absent in Asia, the Middle East, and southern Eurpoe. 4 references, 2 tables.
