Re: Fred Bergsten on war and boom

I recall seeing studies that show the multiplier from military expenditures being less than for other government expenditures.  If this is the case, reducing social welfare (or other non-military) expenditures in order to spend an equivalent amount on defense would result in a decline in GDP.
