Title: Weaponomics the Global Market for Assault Rifles

Obtaining a satisfactory proxy for the motivation (M) to purchase assault rifles is a difficult task.

In the first instance, income growth is adopted as a measure for the desire to buy weapons.

Negative income growth has been found to increase the proneness of a country to civil war outbreak (Collier and Hoeffler 2004), even when accounting for the endogeneity of economic growth in the conflict process (Miguel, Satyanath and Sergenti 2004). It is also found to increase the incidence of violent crime (Fajnzylber, Lederman and Loayza 2002).

Therefore, we would expect negative income shocks to lead to an increased motivation to purchase weapons for the purposes of crime or conflict.

The global academics agree; as we become poorer, we'll buy more and more scary looking rifles. The word 'egg head' applies to the author.

The word 'egg head' applies to the author.

So if "negative income growth" means decline in income, does "positive income decline" mean increase in income?


I've already said too much.

That means the raise and bonus has been cancled in favor of corporate greed.

Whoever coined the term 'assault weapon' really should be shot.

assault is a verb, and some dipwad-egghead back when, has now turned it into an adjective.

'Assault' is just the threat of violence, shouldn't they be called 'battery rifles'? ;-)
