I study the consequences of interstate wars for economic growth in a large cross section of countries during the period 1960-89. I find that cross-country differences in economic growth are systematically related to the occurrence and the characteristics of war. In particular, post-war economic performance is positively related to the severity and the duration of war. Moreover, these growth-enhancing effects vary negatively with a country’s level of economic development. Both of these findings suggest that "Phoenix " type of factors (as suggested by Organski and Kugler) are present not only in global, highly destructive, technology creating wars but also in smaller, interstate conflicts
