Accordingly, the research seeks to shed light on the reality of military spending in Saudi Arabia, focusing on the reasons and motives behind the increased spending based on the hypothesis that the increase in the share of military spending in the budget is due to the financial abundance derived from oil revenues. In the short and long run between military spending and the constant variable capital formation.
For the purpose of achieving the hypothesis of the research, it was relied on the co-integration methodology using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag cointegration technique (ARDL) to measure the effect of military spending on the fixed capital formation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the period (1980-2018), and the research came out with a set of conclusions, including proving the existence of Negative and moral effect between military spending and constant capital formation in the short and long run.
