Trade interdependence, arming and the choice between war and peace
Garfinkel, Michelle Robin; Syropoulos, Constantinos - 2025 - Current Version: March 29, 2025
We consider a dynamic setting where two countries with competing claims to a resource/asset first arm and then choose whether to resolve their dispute through war or peacefully through settlement. War precludes international trade and can be destructive, but also locks gains and eliminates...
