Make Trade Not War

July 27, 2022

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.

Guests:

• Philippe Martin, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po Paris, and Chair, French Council of Economic Analysis
• Thierry Mayer, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po Paris
• Mathias Thoenig, Professor of Economics, HEC Lausanne

Host:

• Axel M. Addy, former Minister of Commerce and Industry and Chief Negotiator of Liberia's accession to the WTO.
