Les budgets militaires de nombreux pays augmentent, dans le contexte récent du conflit en Ukraine mais également depuis quelques années, non sans conséquences économiques. L'idée est communément admise que dépenser plus pour l'armement nuit à la croissance, en privant de moyens un gouvernement qui souhaiterait investir dans un autre secteur de son économie. Le lien n'est pourtant pas direct. La preuve a été faite que l'augmentation des budgets militaires procure de substantiels bénéfices économiques. Israël qui dépense 6% de son PIB dans sa Défense est aussi le pays de l'OCDE dont la croissance est la plus dynamique, les dépenses militaires pouvant doper la croissance gr'ce à leur impact sur l'emploi. La Défense a aussi un impact positif en constituant une forme non déclarée de politique industrielle : une étude sur les pays de l'OCDE, menée par Enrico Moretti, de l'université de Californie à Berkeley, montre qu'une augmentation de 10% des dépenses publiques en Recherche et Développement entraine une augmentation de 5% de la Recherche et Développement privée. Néanmoins, si ces investissements peuvent être des moteurs de la croissance, paix et stabilité restent deux éléments fondamentaux d'une économie prospère. Challenges du 28 avril
