A Simulation of a Possible War between Russia and Ukraine : How Painful and how Costly?

The analysis makes use of different indicators such as economic desgrowth from war (-δwar), war intensity (I), war losses (-Lwar), economic wear from war (Πwar), level of war tension (Twar), level of diplomatic negotiations (D), and the total economic leaking from war (Ωwar). Lastly, this research apply the PEI-Simulator to evaluate a possible full war between Russia and Ukraine
