Abstrakt

Celem artykułu jest porównanie makroekonomicznych efektów wydatków na obronność w gospodarce polskiej i niemieckiej. Oszacowanie tych efektów ma szczególne znaczenie w kontekście silnego wzrostu wydatków na obronność w Polsce i Niemczech w wyniku wybuchu wojny w Ukrainie. Badanie oparte jest na dynamicznym stochastycznym modelu równowagi ogólnej, który uwzględnia zarówno mechanizmy popytowe, jak i podażowe. Funkcje reakcji na impuls obliczone na podstawie modeli oszacowanych dla gospodarki polskiej i niemieckiej ukazują, że oddziaływanie wydatków obronnych na PKB jest znacznie silniejsze w Polsce niż w Niemczech. Ponadto uzyskane wyniki empiryczne wskazują, że w polskiej gospodarce wydatki na obronność w większym stopniu niż w gospodarce niemieckiej stymulują również zatrudnienie i konsumpcję.
