Greed and Grievance in Civil War

Collier, Paul; Hoeffler, Anke - EconWPA - 2004

We investigate the causes of civil war, using a new data set of wars during 1960-99. We test a `greed’ theory focusing on the ability to finance rebellion, against a`grievance’ theory focusing on ethnic and religious divisions, political repression and inequality. We find that greed...

NATURAL RESOURCE ABUNDANCE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH REVISITED

Stijns, Jean-Philippe - EconWPA - 2001

Data on energy and mineral reserves suggest that natural resource abundance has not been a significant structural determinant of economic growth between 1970 and 1989. The story behind the effect of natural resources on economic growth is a complex one that typical growth regressions do not...

The Roads To and From Serfdom

Lagerlof, Nils-Petter - EconWPA - 2002

The institution of slavery displays a puzzling historical pattern: it is found mostly at intermediate stages of agricultural development, in horticultural societies, and less frequently among hunter-gatherers and societies at more advanced agrarian stages. We explain this rise-and- fall pattern...

An interaction model for livestock farming and steppe ecosystem // “Mathematical Modeling of Ecological Systems” Almaty: Daik-Press, 2003. – 160 p. Abstracts. P.26.

Demberel S.; Olenev, Nicholas; Pospelov, Igor - EconWPA - 2003

This work builds a macro model for livestock farming based on aggregation of initial micro description for rational control of total number of vintage livestock (age cohorts). All variety of animal kinds is reduced to one by given recount coefficients. An optimal problem on co-hort total number...

To a Mathematical Model of Economy and Environment Interaction //Mathematical modelling. 2003. V.15. No.4. P.107-121.

Demberel S.; Olenev, Nicholas; Pospelov, Igor - EconWPA - 2003

This paper presents new results of mathematical modeling of economy and environment interaction. A model of mutual interaction of livestock farming - one in a two main agricultural branches - and natural pastures that are the essential part of livestock farming forage reserve is proposed....
