NIPFP Talk "Agricultural yield and conflict" | 30 October

Agricultural yield and conflict Seminar By Dr. Satyendra Kumar Gupta Speaker profile: Dr. Satyendra Kumar Gupta, Assistant Professor, Indian Institute of Management, Rohtak. Date and time: Tue, 30 October, 2018 03:30 PM - 05:00 PM Venue: Auditorium NIPFP, New Delhi Description: This research establishes that the emergence and persistence of intrastate conflict incidence since 1960 are influenced by regional agro-ecological factors captured by the extent of variation in potential crop yield. Our results based on cross-country and grid-level analysis indicate that higher potential crop yield variability within a country that is exogenous to both human intervention and regional culture increases the likelihood of intrastate conflict. Our findings are robust to the inclusion of various geographical, institutional, and potentially confounding economic development correlates.
