Abstract
⺠We empirically analyze institutional determinants of military spending. ⺠We draw on an international database including 157 countries for the period 1988-2006. ⺠Democracies have lower percentages of military expenditure than autocracies. ⺠Presidential systems and majoritarian voting rules favor military spending.
