Diamond Wars? Conflict Diamonds and Geographies of Resource Wars (2008, background): “The resource curse argument suggests that resource dependence creates a context for the emergence of armed conflicts through its negative effects on economic performance and the quality of governing institutions ( Ross 1999 ; Le Billon 2001 ; de Soysa 2002; Auty 2004 ; Fearon 2005 ).”
Natural Resources and the ‘Quality’ of Economic Development (2011, background): “The influence of natural resources on conflicts has been critically re-examined by Fearon (2005) and Fearon and Laitin (2006) who, by using the same approach as Collier and Hoeffler (2002), found that the relationship between primary commodities exports (in particular oil) and civil war is neither…”
Does Lootable Wealth Breed Disorder? (2006, background): “10 On the invalidity of primary commodity exports as a measure of lootable wealth, see Fearon and Laitin (2003); and Fearon (2005) .”
Natural Resources and Violent Conflict (2014, methodology): “Fearon (2005) replicates Collier & Hoeffler’s (2002)model but uses country years instead of five-year intervals as the unit of analysis.”

Governance and Conflict Relapse (2015, background): “Hegre and Nygård 1005 dependent countries (e.g., Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates) also stand out as poorly governed relative to their average incomes, as argued by Fearon (2005).”
Beyond greed and grievance: feasibility and civil war (2008, methodology): “The effect of the level of income is also found by the other major global quantitative study, Fearon and Laitin (2003). However, even with a five-year lag there are potentially serious concerns about endogeneity. When we turn to our robustness checks we address these issues, showing that our initial”
