Initializations

Defense

  • Initialize defense expenditures using SeriesGovtMil%GDPSIPRI.
  • Source: SIPRI, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute
  • Definition: Military expenditures as percent of GDP (SIPRI)
  • Original source: http://milexdata.sipri.org/
  • Last Update in IFs: 2013/06/13 (data through 2012)
  • Most Recent Source Update: Exact date unknown; Data through 2015
  • Year Coverage: 1988-2015 (Consistent); 1957-1987 (May be inconsistent with current data)
  • Country Coverage: 172
  • Data Link:  Link
  • Source Definition: Link
  • “Where possible, SIPRI military expenditure data include all current and capital expenditure on:
    • (a) the armed forces, including peacekeeping forces;
    • (b) defense ministries and other government agencies engaged in defense projects;
    • Note: This would seem to indicate inclusion of the more “civilian” activities of defense department
    • (c) paramilitary forces, when judged to be trained and equipped for military operations; and
    • (d) military space activities
    • Such expenditures should include:
    • (a) military and civil personnel, including retirement pensions of military personnel and social services for personnel;
    • (b) operations and maintenance;
    • (c) procurement;
    • (d) military research and development; and
    • (e) military aid (in the military expenditure of the donor country).
  • Civil defense and current expenditures on previous military activities, such as veterans' benefits, demobilization, conversion and weapon destruction are excluded.”
  • Note: The data from 1957-1987 may have issues when compared over time with the more recent years. Caution will need to be taken should those years be imported into the IFs database. WDI data is derived from this source. SIPRI data is hosted on the WDI databank. Also, might be problematic that this includes R&D spending, capital investments, and military spending in foreign countries


  • If null, then use SeriesGovtMil%GDP
  • Definition: Military expenditures as percent of GDP (ACDA)
  • Source: ACDA www.state.gov/global/arms/bureau_ac/reports_ac.html + asst earlier volumes
  • Last Update in IFs: Unknown
  • Most Recent Source Update: Unavailable
  • Year Coverage: N/A
  • Country Coverage:  N/A
  • Source Definition: Unavailable
  • Note: The ACDA is no longer a functional office at the State Department, their data appears to no longer be hosted on any official department site. The newly created office AVC has created a similar dataset covering 2002-2015.


  • If still null estimate using GDPPCP: TbName$ = "GDP/Capita (PPP) Versus Govt Exp Mil as % of GDP (" & CStr(BaseYear) & ") - linear"
    • This equation is using: GDP/Capita (PPP) Versus Govt Exp Mil as % of GDP (2000) - linear

NATO Definition: (Referred to in State Department Report; Their link doesn’t lead to a definition, however.)

  • Excluded/Adjusted Data:
    • (a) civilian-type expenditures of the defense ministry are excluded and military-type expenditures of other ministries are included; Note: SIPRI seems to include this
    • (b) grant military assistance is included in the expenditures of the donor country; and
    • (c) purchases of military equipment on credit are included at the time the debt is incurred, not at the time of payment. Note: SIPRI doesn't specify when it is included

Note: While all of the countries covered in this dataset are included in the SIPRI data, this dataset includes more recent years for some countries (notably, North Korea)

Financial aid to students and other transfers are excluded from direct expenditure. Current expenditure is consumed within the current year and would have to be renewed if needed in the following year. It includes staff compensation and current expenditure other than for staff compensation (ex. on teaching materials, ancillary services and administration).”
