Costs of War Project

The Costs of War Project is housed at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University

The Costs of War Project is a nonpartisan research project based at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University that seeks to document the direct and indirect human and financial costs of U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and related counterterrorism efforts. The project is the most extensive and comprehensive public accounting of the cost of post-September 11th U.S. military operations compiled to date.[1][2]

The project involves economists, anthropologists, lawyers, humanitarians, and political scientists.[3] It is directed by Catherine Lutz and Stephanie Savell of Brown and Neta Crawford of Boston University.[4][5]
