Abstract/Artist's Statement

This paper summarizes the literature on the correlation between economic variables and conflict in three phases. This paper aims to synthesize literature about the appropriate use of economic measures during different phases of conflict: pre-conflict, during conflict, and post-conflict. The research follows the format: analysis of the impacts of economic welfare as the source of conflict, setting economic prosperity as the central goal to stop violence, proposing fiscal measures that lead to short-term growth to avoid conflict recurrence, and finally, analysis of fiscal elements that promote economic development in the long-run. The analysis identifies fiscal policy as the most appropriate mechanism for managing inefficiencies in post-conflict economies. Resource growth and fair redistribution of available resources can resolve social disputes about limited resources.
