About this event
Europe's security is at risk. Rising military spending and the return of large-scale war have reopened fundamental economic questions about defence and security. Many of these questions remain underexplored in economics. This conference aims to foster a high-level academic exchange on defence and military economics, with a focus on deterrence, arms production, alliances, fiscal capacity, and the interaction between war, financial markets, and the macroeconomy.
Participants are expected to adhere to the Events Code of Conduct.
This event will take place Off Campus.
