Economic Analysis of Army Enlistments: Policy Implications

Abstract

Significant improvements in the measurement of variables and promising preliminary findings at the occupational level highlight the two complementary studies of military enlistments documented in this report. In both studies regression analysis was used. Independent variables include economic and demographic factors as well as recruiters and measures of policy changes. In the first study, models for each Service were estimated using annual Navy Recruiting District level data for the period beginning FY 1976 and updated through Fy 1983. The second study explores the effects of bonuses on Army enlistments.
