Bu çalışma 1970–2008 dönemi için Türkiye’de savunma harcamaları, gelir eşitsizliği ve büyüme arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektedir. Çalışmada gelir dağılımına ilişkin zaman serisi eksikliği sorunu Theil T İstatistiği ile hesaplanan imalat sanayindeki ücret eşitsizliği indeksinin kullanılması ile aşılmıştır. Artan gelir eşitsizliği ve silahlanmaya aktarılan kaynaklar günümüz dünyasında birbiri ile bağlantılı iki ciddi sorundur. Türkiye’de savunma harcamalarının farklı yönlerini inceleyen birçok çalışma olmasına rağmen, gelir dağılımı üzerindeki etkisini inceleyen sadece iki çalışma bulunmaktadır. Böylesine önemli bir konudaki literatürde bulunan bu eksiklik göz önünde bulundurularak; bu çalışma eş bütünleşme ve nedensellik yöntemlerini kullanarak ve daha fazla değişkeni inceleyerek literatüre katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu incelemeye göre, büyüme ve sosyal aktarımlar Türkiye’de gelir eşitsizliği üzerinde iyileştirici bir etkiye sahipken savunma harcamaları eşitsizliği artırmaktadır.
