Guns for Butter? Empirical Evidence from China

Abstract

This study examines the causal nexus between defence spending and education expenditure in China using the bootstrap Granger full-sample causality test and sub-sample rolling window estimation. The full-sample result indicates that there is no causality between defence spending and education expenditure. By adopting a time-varying rolling window approach to revisit the dynamic causal relationships, this article identifies a negative unidirectional causality running from education expenditure to defence spending. The finding suggests that it is the education expenditure crowds out defence spending in China rather than reverse. No causality is demonstrated from defence spending to education expenditure, indicating that an increase in military spending will not crowd out expenditure on education. The results could be partly explained by that the education expenditure in China is below the requirement of corresponding economic growth, urging for more financial budget. Whereas the findings support a negative trade-off between defence and education expenditures, they refute the theory of ‘guns for butter’.

环境温度对导弹发动机点火时机的影响及控制策略

针对埋入式进气道在发动机点火时刻对导弹飞行攻角的严格限制,提出了攻角点火窗口的概念;以助推器在低温、常温和高温下的推力数据为基础,分别计算了导弹飞行攻角进入攻角点火窗口的时刻,并对时刻差异进行动力学分析;为消除环境温度变化对点火指令发出时机的影响,引入伪攻角信号,设计攻角控制律。半实物仿真结果表明,该控制方法能有效消除环境温度变化对导弹飞行攻角进入攻角点火窗口时刻的影响,且能够使导弹攻角在发动机点火过程中保持稳定,具有一定的工程实用价值。

提出一种适用于探雷声纳图像的疑似水雷目标扫描分割方法。该方法以图像区域生长法为基础,根据探雷声纳的成像原理及水雷目标的图像特性,对区域生长法中的参数做了特别设定,分搜索和定位两步对图像中疑似目标进行扫描分割,讨论了搜索和定位两种扫描窗口的尺寸及扫描方法。将该方法应用于实际探雷声纳图像,可得到符合预定信混比要求的疑似目标区域,为基于探雷声纳图像的水雷自动判别奠定了基础。     

Reliability of linear multistate multiple sliding window systems

This paper proposes a new model that generalizes the linear consecutive k‐out‐of‐r‐from‐n:F system to multistate case with multiple failure criteria. In this model (named linear multistate multiple sliding window system) the system consists of n linearly ordered multistate elements (MEs). Each ME can have different states: from complete failure up to perfect functioning. A performance rate is associated with each state. Several functions are defined for a set of integer numbers ρ in such a way that for each r ∈ ρ corresponding function f_r produces negative values if the combination of performance rates of r consecutive MEs corresponds to the unacceptable state of the system. The system fails if at least one of functions f_r for any r consecutive MEs for r ∈ ρ produces a negative value. An algorithm for system reliability evaluation is suggested which is based on an extended universal moment generating function. Examples of system reliability evaluation are presented. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2005.
