    The Economic Cost of the War in Sri Lanka
    (2001) Arunatilake, Nisha; Jayasuriya, Sisira; Kelegama, Saman
    This paper discusses some of the conceptual and methodological problems associated with assessing the economic costs of civil wars and other violent social conflicts, and presents an evaluation of the costs of the (still ongoing) conflict in Sri Lanka. Our estimates suggest that the costs of conflict since 1983 may be at least equivalent to twice Sri Lanka's 1996 GDP.
