dc.description.abstract |
Miguel, Satyanath, and Sergenti (2004) argue that lower
rainfall levels and negative rainfall shocks increase conflict
risk in Sub-Saharan Africa. This conclusion rests on their
finding of a negative correlation between conflict in t and
rainfall growth between t-1 and t-2. I argue that this finding
is driven by a positive correlation between conflict in t and
rainfall levels in t-2. If lower rainfall levels or negative
rainfall shocks increased conflict, one might have expected
MSS s finding to reflect a negative correlation between
conflict in t and rainfall levels in t-1. In the latest data,
conflict is unrelated to rainfall. |
