Natural Experiments in Macroeconomics (2015, positive): “To assuage these concerns, Nunn and Wantchekon use a technique developed by Altonji, Elder, and Taber (2005) and Bellows and Miguel (2009) that calculates how much stronger selection on unobservables, relative to selection on observables, would have to be to overturn the estimated effect: β̂ R /(β̂ ”
The Impact of Violence on Individual Risk Preferences: Evidence from a Natural Experiment (2015, background): “Jing (2015) shows that experimental measures of fair-mindedness predict medical (3)Humphreys and Weinstein (2006), Bellows and Miguel (2009), and Blattman and Annan (2010) are prominent examples.

Conflict and Social and Political Preferences: Evidence from World War II and Civil Conflict in 35 European Countries (2014, positive): “A large literature on the social legacy of conflict has relied on such a measure of social capital (see namely Bellows and Miguel, 2009).”

Inter-Group Conflict and Cooperation: Field Experiments Before, During and After Sectarian Riots in Northern Ireland (2015, background): “Several studies have shown increased in-group altruism and social cohesion in response to violent conflict, in which individuals who had experienced violence were found to be more cooperative in experimental scenarios than individuals without exposure to violence (Bellows and Miguel, 2009; Gilligan ”
When arm’s length is too far. Relationship banking over the credit cycle (2015, positive): “Lastly, we follow Altonji, Elder and Taber (2005) and Bellows and Miguel (2009) to assess the relative importance of possible omitted variable bias.”
