No 11801, CESifo Working Paper Series from CESifo

Abstract: We provide a selective overview of the literature on the linkages between interstate conflict and international trade, paying special attention to how trade openness (i) affects arming incentives, (ii) the channels through which its effects travel, and (iii) its consequences for the emergence of war (or peace) as an equilibrium outcome. We also discuss how restrictive trade policies may interact with national security concerns and what they imply for welfare.

Keywords: gains from trade; national security; arming; war and peace. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
