Poszukiwanie sposobu stymulowania wzrostu gospodarczego w krajach strefy euro ciągle pozostaje zagadnieniem aktualnym. Jedną z interesujących kwestii jest wpływ wydatków wojskowych na wzrost gospodarczy. Celem artykułu było sprawdzenie, czy wydatki budżetowe na obronność w krajach strefy euro oddziałują na wzrost gospodarczy. Analizę empiryczną przeprowadzono za pomocą testu przyczynowości Grangera. Otrzymane wyniki potwierdzają istnienie zależności przyczynowo-skutkowej między wydatkami wojskowymi a tempem wzrostu PKB w czterech z badanych ośmiu gospodarek.

Eurozone’s countries are still facing the problem how to invigorate the economic growth of national economies. One of the interesting questions concerns the impact of military expenditure on economic growth. The aim of the paper was to check whether defense spending in Eurozone countries has a noticeable impact on economic growth. Empirical analysis was based on the Granger causality test. It was proved that military expenses affect economic growth, but only in case of some scrutinized economies (four out eight included in the sample), regardless of the scale of their military spending in national budgets.

Поиск способа стимулирования экономического роста в странах еврозоны остается все еще актуальной задачей. Одним из интересных вопросов является влияние военных рас- ходов на экономический рост. Целью статьи была проверка влияния бюджетных рас- ходов на оборону в странах еврозоны на их экономический рост. Эмпирический анализ был проведен с помощью теста Грэнджера на причинность. Полученные результаты подтверждают существование причинно-следственной связи между расходами на обо- рону и темпами роста ВВП в четырех из восьми исследуемых экономик.
