Abstract

The objective of this study is to assess the contribution of military expenditure on economic growth in Chad. The methodology used refers to VAR modeling over the period 1985-2015. Results show that military expenditure has a negative and significant effect on economic growth in Chad. In terms of recommendations, Chad must significantly reduce its defense budget. The country must also diversify its economy fully based on oil revenues.
