    Este trabajo analiza los factores explicativos del gasto en defensa en los países que forman la OTAN, entre 1996 y 2006. Se han utilizado factores explicativos económicos, estratégico-militares y políticos. El análisis se ha realizado a través de técnicas de datos de panel dinámico, y sus resultados muestran la importancia de la inercia en el gasto en defensa de los países, el desigual efecto de la renta, el efecto de los precios relativos y la existencia de cierta sustitución de gasto propio por gasto de los países aliados.

    This paper analyses the determinants of the demand for defence expenditurein the NATO countries during the period 1996-2006. Thestudy has been approached through three different sets of variables, relatedto economic aspects, strategic and military factors and politicalissues. The empirical analysis has employed dynamic panel data andthe results highlight the important role played by inertia in the nations'defence budgets over time, the unequal effect of income, the effect ofrelative prices and the existence of a spill-in effect (replacement of ownexpenditure by expenditure of allied nations).
