1 ECON 100 Spring 2005 ON THE WELFARE ECONOMICS OF THE VOLUNTARY ARMY See also the assigned reading in Steven E. Landsburg, Price Theory and Applications, 3 rd ed. Ch. 9).

2 For starters, behold these images. Do they depict just another job, as economists believe they do? Your personal judgment call. Here, in this lecture, we pretend it is just another job.

10 ON THE WELFARE ECONOMICS OF THE VOLUNTARY ARMY QUESTIONS: 1. Who DOES the worrying, bleeding and dying? 2. Who SHOULD be doing the worrying, bleeding and dying? 3. Should EFFICIENCY be the supreme criterion?

11 ON THE WELFARE ECONOMICS OF THE VOLUNTARY ARMY I. THE BASIC ANALYTIC FRAMEWORK A. Society s demand for soldiers

12 W WAGE FOR SOLDIERS Shifts out in periods of external threat to the nation; shifts left with peace. THE NUMBER OF SOLDIERS DEMAND N

13 ON THE WELFARE ECONOMICS OF THE VOLUNTARY ARMY I. THE BASIC ANALYTIC FRAMEWORK A. Society s demand for soldiers B. The supply of soldiers

14 W THE NUMBER OF SOLDIERS SUPPLY N WAGE FOR SOLDIERS

15 WAGE FOR SOLDIERS W AT THE UPPER-END OF THE SUPPLY CURVE ARE: - People who may love their country but SUPPLY who face attractive alternative economic opportunities (high-cost people) - People who may lover their country, but who are highly adverse to risk - Others AT THE LOWER END OF THE SUPPLY CURVE ARE: - Genuine patriots who will sacrifice for their country regardless of their own opportunity costs - People with meager alternative economic opportunities (low-cost people, in Landburg s jargon). THE NUMBER OF SOLDIERS N

16 WAGE FOR SOLDIERS W Shifts in in periods of: 1. economic boom 2. prospect of war? SUPPLY shifts out (perhaps not in parallel fashion) in periods of: 1. economic recession 2. rising patriotism, cet. par. THE NUMBER OF SOLDIERS N

17 OBSERVATION To staff an adequate fighting force at relatively low cost to the taxpayers, it is helpful 1. to have a fairly wide income distribution with a large tail of economically hard-pressed families; 2. to have a relatively soft economy with a good bit of unemployment 3. to have large numbers of families without health insurance whom the armed forces will cover with their TRICARE program.

20 A MORE REALISTIC SUPPLY CURVE: THE EFFECT OF RECESSION W Supply in economic boom Supply in economic recession WAGE FOR SOLDIERS THE NUMBER OF SOLDIERS N

21 A MORE REALISTIC SUPPLY CURVE: THE EFFECT OF PATRIOTISM W Supply in normal times Supply under patriotic fervor WAGE FOR SOLDIERS THE NUMBER OF SOLDIERS N

22 ON THE WELFARE ECONOMICS OF THE VOLUNTARY ARMY I. THE BASIC ANALYTIC FRAMEWORK A. Society s demand for soldiers B. The supply of soldiers C. Free-market equilibrium

23 W SUPPLY WAGE FOR SOLDIERS Wo No THE NUMBER OF SOLDIERS DEMAND N Required enlistment

24 ON THE WELFARE ECONOMICS OF THE VOLUNTARY ARMY I. THE BASIC ANALYTIC FRAMEWORK II. MODELING THE MILITARY DRAFT A. The draft with a wage ceiling

25 W SUPPLY W1 WAGE FOR SOLDIERS Wo Wd /////// Draft with a wage ceiling DEMAND Nv No THE NUMBER OF SOLDIERS Nd N Force required

26 ON THE WELFARE ECONOMICS OF THE VOLUNTARY ARMY I. THE BASIC ANALYTIC FRAMEWORK II. MODELING THE MILITARY DRAFT A. The draft with a wage ceiling B. The welfare effects of the draft

27 W1 W A SUPPLY WAGE FOR SOLDIERS Wo Wd D B C E H F G /////// Draft with a wage ceiling I J K DEMAND Nv No THE NUMBER OF SOLDIERS Nd N Force required

29 CONCLUSION The draft, coupled with the price ceiling, transfers economic value (in terms of surplus) equal to areas C+E+F is from soldiers to U.S. taxpayers The so-called deadweight loss or social welfare- loss from the draft equals area G.

31 As textbook writer Steven Landsburg puts it in his Price Theory and Applications (3 rd ed.):

32 Landsburg s language comes dangerously close to suggesting that, if human bodies must be used to stop bullets and shrapnel from artillery or IEDs, it is more efficient to use for that purpose low-cost human bodies (who would not have contributed much GDP or other benefits to society) rather than high cost ones such as scientists, artists and economists. 1 Although deep down many, perhaps most, economists actually may think so, I doubt that many would be willing to put it quite as bluntly as Landsburg does which is why I actually admire his candor in this regard. 1 Not everyone might agree that the bodies of economists are too good to stop bullets and shrapnel.

33 ON THE WELFARE ECONOMICS OF THE VOLUNTARY ARMY I. THE BASIC ANALYTIC FRAMEWORK II. MODELING THE MILITARY DRAFT III. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: EFFECTIVENESS Etc., etc. The rest of the (old) lecture is omitted.
