چکیده
Geographic Proximity, Trade and International Conflict/Cooperation This paper examines the interactive effect of distance and trade on international conflict and cooperation. The effect of geographic distance depends on trade, while the effect of trade varies with geographic distance.

Geographic proximity increases conflict and cooperation more among non-trading dyads. JEL Classification: A12, A13, F1, O57
