多年來的中美洲領土爭端的進展，中央美洲國家已成功地將其與時間的措施減少的邊境軍事化的可能性糾紛。 本研究探討與否的參數貿易減少領土衝突的可能性適用於中美洲的情況。 一個典型案例研究和時間序列交叉二人組合GEE（廣義估計方程）模型用於分析貿易衝突的領土在中美洲的影響;用於得出結論，兩國之間的貿易越高降低相互依存的可能性軍事化的衝突。Over the years of progression of the Central American territorial disputes, the Central American nations have successfully incorporated measures which have with time reduced the possibilities of militarize boarder disputes. This research explores whether or not the argument that trade reduces the likelihood of territorial conflict applies to the case of Central America. An illustrative case study and a time-series cross-dyads GEE (Generalized Estimating Equations) model applied to analyze the impact of trade on territorial conflict in Central America; were used to conclude that higher trade interdependence between two countries decrease the likelihood of militarized conflict
