Military expenditures data from SIPRI are derived from the NATO definition, which includes all current and capital expenditures on the armed forces, including peacekeeping forces; defense ministries and other government agencies engaged in defense projects; paramilitary forces, if these are judged to be trained and equipped for military operations; and military space activities. Such expenditures include military and civil personnel, including retirement pensions of military personnel and social services for personnel; operation and maintenance; procurement; military research and development; and military aid (in the military expenditures of the donor country). Excluded are civil defense and current expenditures for previous military activities, such as for veterans' benefits, demobilization, conversion, and destruction of weapons. This definition cannot be applied for all countries, however, since that would require much more detailed information than is available about what is included in military budgets and off-budget military expenditure items. (For example, military budgets might or might not cover civil defense, reserves and auxiliary forces, police and paramilitary forces, dual-purpose forces such as military and civilian police, military grants in kind, pensions for military personnel, and social security contributions paid by one part of government to another).; ; Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Yearbook: Armaments, Disarmament and International Security.; Weighted average; Data for some countries are based on partial or uncertain data or rough estimates.

Our data are mainly from two datasets compiled by the National Bureau of Statistics of China and one dataset we compiled. Industry-related variables are from the Chinese Industrial Enterprises Database, a longitudinal micro-level database based on annual surveys of manufacturing, mining, and construction firms with at least five million yuan in annual sales. This database is the most comprehensive source of information on industrial firms and has been used by some leading academic papers (e.g., Hsieh and Klenow, 2009; Song et al., 2011) . In this study, we focus on the manufacturing sector and construct a panel dataset for 30 industries in 268 cities during 1998–2009. City-related control variables are mainly from the Statistical Bulletin for each city, China City Statistical Yearbook, and Statistical Yearbook for each province. These sources are the most comprehensive statistics on the social and economic development of Chinese prefectural cities. Statistics include, for example, GDP, government expenditure, population, employment, and education. Politician profile data are compiled from www.people.cn, XinhuaNet, and Baidu Encyclopedia . The data contain the names of the municipal party committee secretary and the mayor of 268 cities during 1998–2009. The data also contain the previous position of each secretary and mayor. The data are cross-checked with other sources to ensure quality.
