In this report the authors seek to examine the causes and economic value of peace in relation to the Global Peace Index (GPI). They do so by conducting three distinct types of analysis, starting with a statistical investigation of the entire GPI database to uncover the structure, causes and value of peace. They then examine cross-national attitude surveys on a variety of social issues and how they relate to peace, and, finally, they present a conservative estimation of the economic worth of the cessation of violence to the world.
