International Migration and Interstate Conflict
It is widely recognized that economic interdependence is a force for peace. When countries forge deep economic relationships with each other, they make resorting to violence to settle their differences much costlier and reaching a peaceful resolution more prized. These relationships include bilateral trade in goods and services, cross-border investment, and supply chain integration. International migration supports all three.

Harnessing Regional Trade Agreements as Development Policy Instruments
Countries enter regional trade agreements (RTAs) for many reasons including, but not limited to, promoting international trade and investment, protecting intellectual property rights, and strengthening political ties. There are currently 356 RTAs in force that vary by geography, signatories, product coverage, and provisions. Therefore, it’s not surprising that some trade agreements induce more trade than others. In a recently published paper, the authors confirm that the effect on trade varies significantly across RTAs and even more for specific products, like apparel. Their research also illustrates how RTAs can be used as effective development policy instruments to create jobs and address the root causes of migration.
