Spillover Effects of Conflict on the Economic Growth of Neighboring Countries: A study of the consequences of conflict reaching beyond the host coun
(2021) NEKH02 20211Department of Economics
- Abstract
- In this article, the effects of conflict on the economic growth of neighboring countries (referred to as economic spillover effects of conflict) are studied for Asia, Africa and Latin America during 1990-2019. Compared to previous studies on the subject, this study accounts for the changing conflict climate over the years by starting the sample period 30 years later than other authors. The overall result is that the effects seem to be region-specific. Furthermore, the effects appear to be dependent on conflict type and neighbor countries’ distance away from conflict. Most effects were negative, while the effect on non-contiguous neighbor countries to conflict (secondary neighbors) was sometimes positive. Moreover, the economic spillover... (More)
