Abstract: The negativ e long-term effects of World War II on those directly exposed to it are well documented, but … the intergenerational effects of World War II in terms of educational attainments. We focus on parent-children dyads in … which parents were born between 1926 and 1949, and show two things. First, parents who suffered the war, that is, were …

We survey selected parts of the growing literature on the microeconomics of violent conflict, identifying where … review on the role of civilian agency in conflict; on wartime institutions; and on the private sector in conflict. Future … research requires new and better sources of data on conflict and conflict impacts, including from household surveys in conflict …

This paper studies a simple two-stage model of conflict in which two players allocate resources between arms and … domestic production in the first stage and subsequently engage in peace negotiations trying to avoid war. War is costly and war … those involving war. The two players will build more arms in any peace equilibrium than in the (unique) war equilibrium …

It finds that wars slow the economy. Estimates indicate that civil war … reduces annual growth by .01 to .13 percentage points, and high-intensity interstate conflict reduces annual growth by .18 to …

around five years after the end of a conflict, it declines again to pre-war levels within the end of the first post-war … period. Lagged effects of conflict and only subsequent adjustments of redistributive policies in the period of post-war … focused on the other direction. We use cross-country panel data for the time period 1960-2005 to estimate war-related changes …

We study a model of war in which the outcome of the war is uncertain from the perspective of the involved countries not … at any resource level. From an ex ante perspective it is therefore likely to win the war. …

The report provides an … data-bases used to operationalize the variables of interest and discuss the channels linking violent conflict to individual … variables that allow researchers to analyze the welfare effects of violent conflict across countries and across time. We develop …

probability of war in an incomplete information game. This result is strongly consistent with existing empirical analyses of the … inverse trade-conflict relationship, but is the opposite of the conclusion reached by Gartzke et al. (2001), who reject the … opportunity costs as the basis for the inverse trade-conflict relationship, thus implying that one need not rely on signaling. …
