About This Event


As the Iraq conflict continues into its fourth year, concerns about its costs also continue. Budgetary expenditures for the Iraq war are widely reported, but the financial gains and losses of the conflict are broader and more difficult to assess. Recognizing this fact, some scholars have begun to apply economic principles and methods to help evaluate the costs and benefits of the Iraq war and to assess the potential long-term fiscal liabilities it may cause. Please join us for an event that features three recent studies on the economic aspects of the Iraq war.
