Do UN Interventions Cause Peace? Using Matching to Improve Causal Inference (2008, background): “In the former category see Fearon and Laitin (2003), Fortna (2004), Collier and Hoeffler (2004), Miguel et al. (2004) and Hegre and Sambanis (2006) among others.”
Workers of the World, Unite! Franchise Extensions and the Threat of Revolution in Europe, 1820-1938 (2014, background): “Each country is populated by two groups, called the insiders and the outsiders, and indexed by g ∈ {I, O}.6 Utility is discounted by the factor 4The literature on civil war also emphasizes international diffusion (Sambanis and Hegre, 2006).”
Development Consequences of Armed Conflict (2012, background): “Most conflict studies confirm that development as measured by GDP per capita or energy consumption per capita is among the most robust predictors of civil war (Collier et al., 2003; Fearon & Laitin, 2003; Hegre, Ellingsen, Gates, & Gleditsch, 2001; Hegre & Sambanis, 2006; Hibbs, 1973).”
Do natural resources matter for interstate and intrastate armed conflict? (2014, result): “Subsequent studies have either supported (Ross, 2004a,b) or undermined this conjecture (Fearon, 2005; Humphreys, 2005; Hegre & Sambanis, 2006).”
Rules That Matter: Political Institutions and the Diversity—Conflict Nexus (2008, neutral): “This literature has, however, come up with inconclusive results so far (Hegre & Sambanis, 2006) or fallen victim to research design problems such as selection effects (Christin & Hug, 2005).”
Demand, supply, and restraint: Determinants of domestic water conflict and cooperation (2014, neutral): “This reasoning seems at odds with empirical research that ﬁnds low economic development, typically measured by a state’s income level, to be a robust correlate of civil war (Hegre and Sambanis, 2006; Ward et al., 2010).”
Polarization, Fractionalization and Conflict (2007, background): “Fearon & Laitin (2003), and more recently Hegre & Sambanis (2006), could not identify a link between fractionalization and conflict.”
Political opportunity structures, democracy, and civil war (2010, background): “For example, the inverse relationship between a country’s per capita income and civil war and the positive association between country size and civil war are often cited as key empirical facts in reviews on what we know about civil war (see e.g. Hegre & Sambanis, 2006).”
Climate variability, economic growth, and civil conflict (2012, background): “The argument that poverty breeds conflict and war is supported by several empirical studies (e.g. Hidalgo et al., 2010; Dube & Vargas, 2008; Hegre & Sambanis, 2006; Collier & Hoeffler, 2004; Miguel et al., 2004; Fearon & Laitin, 2003).”
Political Order and One-Party Rule (2010, background): “…& Yao 2007); result in gradual institutional transformations that prepare for the eventual victory of the democratic opposition (Eisenstadt 2004, Howard & Roessler 2006, Lindberg 2006c, Roessler & Howard 2008); or encourage democratization after political breakdown (Bratton & van de Walle…”
Population Size and Civil Conflict Risk: Is There A Causal Link? (2010, neutral): “Other empirical panel-data studies followed, finding similarly adverse effects of population size on civil conflict (e.g. Hegre and Sambanis, 2006).”
