ROTC Service Commitments: A Comment on Thomas and Bierman's Paper in Public Choice (Fall 1975)

Abstract

The writer concludes that the Thomas and Bierman article is remiss in failing to discuss the elasticities of their accession curves. Since the military's demand is for man-years and not accessions, the magnitude of these elasticities is basic to determining the optimal minimum service requirement. Furthermore, there is no reason to expect that the average quality of the man- years acquired will be higher.
