New Policy Insight: (Re)building Europe’s defence: Human capital is key

Manuel Trajtenberg
"As Europe contemplates embarking on a large-scale build-up of its defence capabilities, it should do so by investing in tandem and gradually in human and in physical capital... Indeed, robust defence capabilities can be developed not just without impeding economic growth, but by fostering it. This is the sort of reasoning that economists can bring to the table ... and thus support a well-designed military
build-up in Europe."

Public– private partnerships (PPPs) are frequently proposed as a solution, but their effectiveness is debated. Can they help bridge the funding shortfall, or do they introduce inefficiencies and risks related to contract renegotiations?
