Does Military Spending Really Matter for Economic Growth in China and G7 Countries: The Roles of Dependency and Heterogeneity

This study revisits the causal linkages between military spending and economic growth in China and G7 countries (i.e. Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the USA) by focusing country-specific analysis for the period 1988–2010. The panel causality analysis, which accounts for both cross-country dependency and heterogeneity across countries, is employed in this study. Our results find evidence of the neutrality hypothesis for Italy, France, and Germany, the military spending–growth detriment hypothesis for both Canada and the UK, and one-way Granger causality running from economic growth to military spending for China. Furthermore, we find a feedback between military spending and economic growth in both Japan and the USA. Thus, our results do not support that one size fits all.     

THE FATE OF DISPUTED TERRITORIES: AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

This paper presents a simple model to characterize the outcome of a land dispute between two rival parties using a Stackelberg game. Unlike Gershenson and Grossman (2000 Gershenson, D. and Grossman, H.I. 2000. Civil conflict: ended or never ending?. Journal of Conflict Resolution, 44(6): 807–821.  [Google Scholar]), we assume that the opposing parties have access to different technologies for challenging and defending in conflict. We derive the conditions under which territorial conflict between the two parties is less likely to persist indefinitely. Allowing for an exogenous destruction term as in Garfinkel and Skaperdas (2000 Garfinkel, M. and Skaperdas, S. 2000. Conflict without misperceptions or incomplete information: how the future matters. Journal of Conflict Resolution, 44(6): 793–807. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]), we show that, when the nature of conflict becomes more destructive, the likelihood of a peaceful outcome, in which the territory’s initial possessor deters the challenging party, increases if the initial possessor holds more intrinsic value for the disputed land. Following Siqueira (2003 Siqueira, K. 2003. Conflict and third‐party intervention. Defence and Peace Economics, 14(6): 389–400. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]), our model has policy implications for peace through third‐party intervention.     

装备保障抽组力量物资装载模型

对装备保障抽组力量的物资装载问题进行了数学描述,建立了以实现全部物资尽量分散装载为目标,以同类物资集中装载、车辆承载物资总体积不超过车辆有效容积、车辆承载物资总重量不超过车辆标记载重量、物资必须装载且不被重复装载等为主要约束的数学模型,并进行了求解.最后通过实例解算验证了模型的有效性.

战场信息分发服务语义描述方法的分析与比较

文章针对基于语义的战场信息分发这一特定应用,对OWL-S和SAWSDL两种常用的语义服务描述语言进行了深入的比较与分析。首先,以航迹信息为例构建了战场态势信息本体,并对战场传感器所提供的服务进行封装;然后,详细描述了如何采用OWL-S和SAWSDL描述本体及服务,并结合战场态势语义的特殊需求,对两种语言的描述能力、匹配组合的支持能力等性能进行了比较。分析表明OWL-S更适合于复杂多变的战场信息环境。     

基于SOA的战场武器协同系统服务语义描述

高效的武器协同能充分发挥各作战单元的整体作战效能。SOA(Service Oriented Architecture)体系结构松耦合性、平台独立性及可重用性等特点,为武器协同系统的实现提供了有效的技术途径。文章针对现行集中式的武器协同系统体系结构,重点讨论了武器协同本体构建及战场服务语义描述的实现问题。首先介绍了武器协同系统的组成及工作流程;然后依据系统的操作过程,构建了完整一致的武器协同本体,并用OWL语言对其进行描述;分析、比较了几种服务描述语言优缺点,选择了WSDL-S语言进行服务描述,并以火炮射击服务为例,给出了战场服务的封装和描述方法,主要包括基本服务信息描述和服务描述的语义扩展。最后,对下一步工作进行了展望。
