A cautionary tale on polygyny, conflict and gender inequality
Krieger, Tim; Renner, Laura - 2018
Kanazawa (J of Politics, 2009) claims that polygyny may be the "first law of intergroup conflict (civil wars …)". Gleditsch et al.

Our paper recapitulates this theoretical and empirical debate. We explore further …

Recent patterns of post-conflict aid : did donors help sustain peace?
Nunnenkamp, Peter - 2016
Donor reactions to recent settlements of internal conflicts have been highly diverse, in terms of both overall aid and its sectoral composition. The allocation of post-conflict aid tends to be needs-based by favoring particularly poor countries. There is no conclusive evidence, however, that the...

Resource concentration and civil wars
Morelli, Massimo; Rohner, Dominic - 2013
This paper highlights the importance of natural resource concentration and ethnic group regional concentration for ethnic conflict. A new type of bargaining failure due to multiple types of potential conflicts (and hence multiple threat points) is identified. The theory predicts war to be more...

Polarized education levels and civil unrest
Canavire-Bacarreza, Gustavo; Cotton, Christopher; … - 2019
After introducing a measure for educational polarization (EduPol ), this paper presents a theoretical framework to understand whether and how EduPol may affect the contest for power in society. The model suggests that societies with high degrees of EduPol (i.e., substantial shares with either no...
