Citations in the corpus

• Post-Conflict Risks (2008, background): “…the predominant recent theoretical position as described in the survey of civil war in the Handbook of Defence Economics, has been to emphasize the conditions that determine the feasibility of rebellion as being more important than those that influence motivation (Collier and Hoeffler, 2007).”
• Extreme Weather and Civil War: Does Drought Fuel Conflict in Somalia through Livestock Price Shocks? (2014, background): “Second, food aid has been seized by aggressive conflict parties and misused to feed and recruit fighters, to buy loyalty among the needy population, and to exchange or sell it for acquiring weapons, which all fuel conflict (Anderson 1999; Collier and Hoeffler 2007; Nunn and Qian forthcoming).”
• Institutional determinants of military spending (2012, background): “The empirical literature examining these issues (Rosh, 1988; Dunne & Perlo-Freeman, 2003a, 2003b, Dunne et al., 2008; Gadea et al., 2004; Yildirim, J. & S. Sezgin, 2005; Collier & Hoeffler, 2007; Nikolaidou, 2008) has shed some light on our overall understanding of military spending.”
• Aiding Violence or Peace? The Impact of Foreign Aid on the Risk of Civil Conflict in Sub-Saharan Africa (2009, background): “Our results are supporting the theoretical hypothesis from Collier and Hoeffler (2002) as well as some of the empirical results from Collier and Hoeffler (2007).”
• The Politics of Effective Foreign Aid (2010, background): “…to be correlated with things such as civil conflict and coups that also affect growth, calling into question its usefulness as an instrument even before we consider the fact that aid might be causally related to military spending, coups, and conflict (Grossman 1992; Collier & Hoeffler 2002, 2007).”
