Abstract
Geoeconomics is the use of a country’s economic strength to exert influence on foreign entities to achieve geopolitical or economic goals. We provide an overview of this new field of research, its intellectual history in political science and economics, and how new theories enable researchers to model concepts like power and economic security. We show how to apply the theory quantitatively and use AI methods to analyze how firms around the world are responding to geoeconomic pressure.
