Abstract
This study theoretically and empirically tests the relationship between military spending and social spending in Egypt using data from 1987-2005. The theoretical results show that the crowdingout of social spending is ambiguous, unless the government is fully allocating its tax receipts to the military. The crowding-out of social spending by military spending lacks theoretical and empirical justification. © 2011 De Gruyter. All rights reserved.
