The Rule of Law and Economic Growth: Where are We? (2011, background): “According to Collier, civil war tends to reduce growth by around 2.3% per year; with civil wars (in his dataset) averaging seven years in duration, the typical war leaves a country 15% poorer than it otherwise would have been (Collier, 2007, p. 27).”
Livestock sector development for poverty reduction: an economic and policy perspective. Livestock's many virtues. (2012, background): “Local conflicts often assume international dimensions, and the annual global cost of civil war has recently been estimated, conservatively, at USD 100 billion (Collier, 2007) – far more than total global aid.”
The perils of policy by p-value: Predicting civil conflicts (2010, background): “(Collier, 2007: 19) He goes directly on to note that ‘if a country grows at 3 percent, the risk [of civil war] is cut from 14 percent to 11 percent; if its economy declines at 3 percent, the risk increases to 16 percent’ (Collier, 2007: 20).”
Human Development and Sustainability (2010, background): “Moreover, with few exceptions, these countries also suffer from bad governance, which in turn causes low or negative GS (Dietz et al., 2007), low levels of human security and outright warfare (Collier, 2007).”
Entrepreneurship is not a Binding Constraint on Growth and Development in the Poorest Countries (2011, background): “Paul Collier (2007) Market failures: Trade and globalization important mechanisms to escape poverty, but government assistance needed.”
Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Base of the Pyramid: A Recipe for Inclusive Growth or Social Exclusion? (2012, background): “The governance structures under which they live vary, and many of the very bottom billion (Collier, 2007) live in extreme poverty under anarchy or kleptocratic governments (Sachs, 2005).”
FRAGILE STATES AND DEVELOPMENT POLICY (2011, unknown): “Collier (2007) can be seen as an exponent of this revisionist view.”
Leader Behavior and the Natural Resource Curse (2009, background): “Collier (2007, p.45) argues that poor democracies, when given income from resource exports, tend to substitute from investment to patronage.(15) Humphreys and Bates (2005) argue that resource-rich countries will tend to use more patronage than investment, just because the provision of public goods i”
Sustainable development goals and inclusive development (2016, background): “Social inclusiveness has its roots in human rights, inequality, redistribution, rural development, entitlements and capabilities concepts (cf. Meier 2001; Thorbecke 2006; Easterly 2007; Sen 1999; Gupta and Thomson 2010) and has been expressed in the Millennium Development Goals (Collier 2007).”
Is Green Growth Good for the Poor? (2014, background): “could result in low growth and high poverty ‘traps’, such as those linked to the natural resource curse, conflicts, governance, geography, or even aid (Sachs 2005; Collier 2007).”
Global Poverty and the New Bottom Billion: What if Three-quarters of the World's Poor Live in Middle-income Countries? (2010, unknown): “Paul Collier (2007: 3) has popularised the idea of the need to focus on the “bottom billion”—the total population, not the poor population—who live in 60 or so countries “falling behind and often falling apart”.5 It is true that fragile states are more off-track on the MDGs than other types of devel”
