1 The Impact of Conflict on Trade Evidence from Panel Data Katrin Kamin 19th International Conference on Economics and Security June 2015, Grenoble
2 Motivation [ ] the impact of peace is greater than the impact from either multilateral or bilateral trade agreements [ ] [ ] the negative impact of conflict is greater than language and border effects. Blomberg and Hess (2006) 1 Introduction 2
3 Conflicts impact on trade Pollins (1989): cooperative diplomatic relations have a positive impact on trade Gowa and Mansfield (1993): alliances promote trade estimations might be biased because of bilateral specific effects Morrow et al. (1998): interstate war, democracy & political alliances variables colinearity problem between war and alliance variable Martin et al. (2008): negative & significant effect is persistent over time Glick and Taylor (2010): negative effect on trade regardless of being belligerent or neutral Blomberg and Hess (2006): impact of violence (terrorism, external war, revolutions, interethnic fighting) on trade: 30% 1 Introduction 3
4 Trade data Bilateral, current trade data for 195 countries, for (source: COMTRADE) Trade Countries Countrypair Total trade value in 1000 US $ GDP of exp / imp in current US$ Common language Colonial relationship Distance 2 Data 4
5 Conflict data Uppsala Conflict Data Program, Uppsala University, 2014 Information on: location, actors, supporters, year, intensity, start, end Armed conflict use of armed force between two parties; at least one party is the government of a state Nonstate conflict use of armed force between two organized armed groups; neither is the government of a state Onesided violence use of armed force by the government of a state or by a formally organized group against civilians Armed conflict Nonstate conflict Onesided violence # of incidents # of countries/ actors Data # total events (conflictyearcombination)
6 The Gravity Equation Newton s Law of Universal Gravitation F ij = G M im j D ij θ F ij is the attractive force M i and M j are the masses D ij is the distance between the two objects G is a gravitational constant Jan Tinbergen (1962) F ij = G M i α M j β D ij θ F ij trade flows from i to j M i and M j are the economic masses D ij distance between the two locations G is a constant (equal to Newton s law if α = β = 1 and θ = 2) 3 Model 6

16 Interpretation of results Estimation I Armed conflict only negative effect (67%) on exporter side if # of conflicts is high Positive effect on importer side, as long as # of conflicts is low, otherwise trade losses of up to 42% Nonstate conflict For exporter (30%) and importer (4.8%) negative and large, if in one conflict For both positive if in a high # of conflicts (12% and 8% respectively) Onesided violence Does not affect exporter Only affects importer negatively if country is involved in one conflict (4,8%) 4 Results 16
17 Interpretation of results Estimation II Armed conflict Being enemies has a large negative impact on trade flows of up to 95% Being allies yields as well huge trade losses of more than 50% 4 Results 17
