Abstract:
|
Do exogenous economic shocks promote civil conflict directly? Do they
affect all the societies alike? Using a large sample panel dataset, the current
approach finds that commodity export prices shocks contribute to civil
conflict in socially diversified countries. These findings contribute to the existing
body literature linking income to conflict by analyzing not only the
effect of commodity price shocks on conflict incidence, rather than onsets,
but also by examining the joint effect of ethnicity and religious polarization
and fractionalization.
Keywords: economic shocks; conflict; polarization; fractionalization;
commodity price. JEL classification: D74, O11, O17 |
