      abstract = {Bilateral trade, even peace-promoting trade, is not  without observable externalities that harm other states,  yet most of the trade-conflict literature has ignored these  concerns. Some of these externalities arise when domestic  exporters compete with exporters from foreign nations for  markets in other countries, and I hypothesize that leaders  react to this competition in venues beyond the trade  negotiating table which can even include the battleground.  Specifically, I argue that countries find themselves in  competition with not only the countries that export similar  goods to the world but also and especially those countries  that export to similar markets. Analyzing robust data on  bilateral commodity-level trade and militarized interstate  disputes, my analysis shows that countries which share more  similar portfolios of export destinations for their goods  are more likely to come into conflict and that varying this  export destination similarity score raises the likelihood  of conflict substantially.},
