Make Trade Not War

Unravelling the relationship between trade and peace is not nearly as simple as it may seem: since trade can affect conflict and vice versa, how can the effect of trade on the probability of the onset of conflict be accurately estimated? And once accurately estimated, what has actually been the effect of trade on conflict? How can this inform our current reality?

Discussing this, and more, are the three distinguished authors of "Make Trade not War?": Mr. Philippe Martin, Professor of Economics at Sciences Po Paris and Chair of the French Council of Economic Analysis, Mr. Thierry Mayer, Professor of Economics at Sciences Po Paris, and Mr. Mathias Thoenig, Professor of Economics at HEC Lausanne.
