| Abstract: | 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 asso- ciated with peacekeeping. A peacekeeping demand equation is then estimated for each of the 25 primary contributing coun- tries for 1975-96. To identify the best set of estimates, we apply a host of specification tests. Results show that con- tributors responded both to the complementarity of the jointly produced peacekeeping benefits and to the assessment formula. There is little evidence of free riding among sam- ple countries. Peacekeeping spillins represent most impor- tant 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. |
