Abstract
Perhaps because of Pakistan's (Henderson, 1993) pursuit of nuclear capability, increased attention has focused on that country's pattern of defense expenditures. Because of the high proportion of the budget devoted to defense, the economic impact of these expenditures has also been of concern. How rapidly do Pakistani defense expenditures respond to increased Indian allocations to the military? Are the opportunity costs (in terms of foregone output and income) likely to constrain that country's military budget?
