Article Military Spending and Growth: Empirical Evidence from a Post-Keynesian Model(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Elveren, Adem Yavuz; Tongur, Unal; Elgin, CeyhunThis paper revisits the military spending - economic growth nexus by introducing a simple Post-Keynesian model that accounts for both the direct and indirect effects of military expenditure, specifically through the channel of income inequality. A simulation analysis distinguishes between different types of military expenditures, showing that military wages are less harmful - and can even be beneficial - compared to arms purchases, which exacerbate inequality and diminish growth. Decomposition analysis reveals that even when the direct effect of military spending is mildly positive, the inequality-induced indirect effect is strongly negative, resulting in an overall negative impact on growth. Furthermore, using panel data from 150 countries for 1960-2019 and applying Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) methods, we find that military spending negatively impacts economic growth both directly and indirectly by increasing income inequality. Our findings underline the importance of considering the composition of military expenditures and the mediating role of inequality in evaluating defense spending's macroeconomic consequences.Article Informality and Female Labor Income Share(2025) Töngür, Ünal; Elveren, Adem; Elgin, CeyhunBu çalışma kayıt dışı istihdam ile kadınların refahı arasındaki ilişkinin daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlayacak özgün ampirik bulgular sunmaktadır. Kadınların formel sektördeki istihdam olanaklarına ulaşmalarını zorlaştıran bazı engeller olduğu için genellikle düşük verimlilik, kredi ve mesleki gelişim olanaklarına sınırlı erişim ve sosyal güvencesizlik ile özdeşleşen kayıt dışı sektörlere yönelme eğilimindedirler. 148 ülke ve 1991-2018 dönemini kapsayan kayıt dışı ekonomi ve kadınların emek geliri payı veri setlerini kullanarak, genel anlamda kayıtdışılık ile kadınların emek geliri payı arasında güçlü bir ilişki olduğunu ve bu ilişkinin farklı gelir grubundaki ülkelere ve kalkınma düzeyine göre belirgin bir şekilde farklılaştığını gösterdik. Bu iki değişken arasında genel olarak yüksek geliri grubu ülkelerde anlamlı ve tutarlı bir ilişki bulunmazken, bu korelasyonun düşük gelirli ülkelerde negatif ve orta gelirli ülkelerde pozitif olduğu görülmektedir.Article Guns and Melting Butter: Climate Change and Military Spending Dynamics(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Elveren, Adem YavuzThis study examines how climate change influences military spending, using temperature variation and the frequency of adverse climatic events as proxies for climate stress. Employing a panel dataset of 143 countries from 1980 to 2018, the analysis explores the long-term relationship. The results indicate significant long-run negative associations between adverse climatic events, temperature changes, and military spending, along with a positive relationship with health spending. These patterns may suggest that, in response to climate-induced fiscal pressures, countries tend to shift resources - at least partially - away from defense and toward disaster response and health-related needs. The findings contribute to the emerging literature on the fiscal impacts of climate change, demonstrating how climate-induced pressures on public budgets may reshape national security priorities. Overall, this research provides empirical insights into the interplay between climate change and military spending, addressing a critical gap in both climate-security and defense economics literature.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1A Macroeconomic Perspective on Gender, Economic Crises, Inequality, and Informality(Taylor and Francis, 2024) Elveren, Adem Yavuz; Topbas, DamlaArticle Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 4Persistency of Military Spending and Fiscal Policy Responses to COVID-19(Routledge, 2022) Cantekin, Kerem; Elgin, Ceyhun; Elveren, Adem YavuzUsing a relatively large time-varying cross-country panel dataset of fiscal policy responses to the Covid-19 pandemic, this paper examines the relationship between military spending persistency and the size of the fiscal stimulus packages. The results suggest that countries with more persistent military spending have had smaller fiscal-stimulus packages during the Covid-19 pandemic.Book Part A Macroeconomic Perspective on Gender, Growth, and Informality(Taylor and Francis, 2024) Elveren, Adem Yavuz; Goksel, IdilArticle Citation - WoS: 1The Effect of Informality on Profit Rates: the Role of Feminization of Labor(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Elveren, Adem Yavuz; Elgin, Ceyhun; Tongur, ÜnalThis paper explores the intricate dynamics among the informal economy, profit rates, and the feminization of labor. While extensive literature has delved into the causes and consequences of the informal economy, a notable gap exists in understanding its impact on profit rates-an essential indicator of a capitalist economy's health. The preference of certain firms to operate informally enables them to reduce costs, enhance competitiveness, and diminish union influence, ultimately boosting profitability. The paper proposes and tests the hypothesis that the informal sector's presence is linked to higher profit rates. Methodologically, the study introduces a Post-Keynesian model that incorporates gender-specific marginal propensities to consume, followed by a simulation analysis. Subsequently, an econometric model is employed, utilizing data from 127 countries spanning 1991-2018. Results from both simulation and panel data analysis robustly indicate a significant association between the informal sector and increased profit rates. This phenomenon is attributed to the feminization of labor, suggesting a role in cost reduction.Article Imf Standby Agreements and Inequality: the Role of Informality(Wiley, 2025) Elgin, Ceyhun; Elveren, Adem YavuzWe use a relatively large annual (unbalanced) cross-country panel data set that includes the Gini index and the estimated household income inequality as the two relevant inequality metrics and covers the period from 1950 to 2018 for 159 countries, and we investigate the response of two inequality metrics to International Monetary Fund (IMF) standby programs. Our empirical analysis indicates that in countries where the informal sector size (as % GDP) is relatively larger, the extent of income inequality increases after IMF standby agreements. We also show that the opposite is true when the informal sector size is small, that is, inequality declines after these IMF programs.Article The Impact of Military Spending on Profit Rate in the US, 1870-2015(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Elveren, Adem YavuzMarxist scholars examine the complex relationship between military spending and the profit rate in terms of capital productivity, the organic composition of capital, and broader class dynamics. Empirical studies grounded in this theoretical framework suggest that the impact of military expenditures on profit rates varies depending on a country's role in the arms trade and the historical period analyzed. This study focuses on the United States, the largest military spender and arms exporter. Using various cointegration methods and data covering nearly a century and a half, the analysis suggests that while military expenditures generally support profit rates, their effect becomes negative during the neoliberal era, likely due to structural shifts toward financialization.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Does Militarization Hinder Female Labor Income Share?(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2023) Elveren, Adem YavuzThis study addresses the underexplored dimension of the relationship between military expenditures and gender inequality, drawing upon the insights of feminist security and international relations scholars. The influence of militarization on gender inequality is profound, manifesting itself significantly in both conflict and peacetime situations. The destruction of essential infrastructure further restricts women's access to vital resources. In peacetime, the convergence of militarization and patriarchy reinforces women's secondary roles in society, while higher military expenditures can divert resources from social spending, disproportionately affecting women and children reliant on public services. Despite extensive theoretical discussions, empirical studies on this nexus are limited. This paper contributes by presenting original evidence using a comprehensive dataset spanning 1991-2019, examining the Female Labor Income Share across over 100 countries. Findings reveal that militarization correlates with reduced the Female Labor Income Share, underscoring the urgency of addressing this critical linkage between militarization and gender inequality.
