The Demand for UN Peacekeeping, 1975-1996.
A reduced-form equation for UN peacekeeping contributions is derived, based on a joint product model of peacekeeping for which both nation-specific and worldwide benefits are associated with peacekeeping. A peacekeeping demand equation is then estimated for each of the 25 primary contributing countries for 1975-96. To identify the best set of estimates, we apply a host of specification tests. Results show that contributors responded both to the complementarity of the jointly produced peacekeeping benefits and to the assessment formula. There is little evidence of free riding among sample countries. Peacekeeping spillins represent the most important determinant of a nation's peacekeeping contributions, while a contributor's trade total is a second significant determinant for just over a third of the sample. For almost every country, income is not a significant factor. Copyright 1999 by WWZ and Helbing & Lichtenhahn Verlag AG
