Citations in the corpus

• Religiosity and the cost of debt (2016, neutral): “We adopt the religious fractionalization measure from Montalvo and Reynal-Querol (2005) as the measure of religious diversity with higher scores indicating a higher diversity of religion.”
• Ecology, trade and states in pre-colonial Africa (2014, methodology): “Similar measures have been used for ethnicity (Montalvo and Reynal-Querol, 2005).”
• Why Horizontal Inequalities Matter: Some Implications for Measurement. (2005, background): “The fact that ethnically diverse societies have been found to have lower growth than homogeneous ones (Easterly and Levine, 2000; Montalvo and Reynal-Querol, 2005) suggests that group inequality is one component of this growth-lowering impact of inequality.”
• Poverty and Civil War: Revisiting the Evidence (2010, background): “Next, Reynal-Querol (2002) and Montalvo and Reynal-Querol (2005a, 2005b) show that ethnic polarization explains the likelihood of conflicts and civil wars.”
• Openness and income: The roles of trade and migration (2014, background): “55 Garcia-Montalvo and Reynal-Querol (2005a, 2005b) argue that it is more appropriate to use polarization, as opposed to fractionalization measures.”
• ETHNIC DIVERSITY, PUBLIC SPENDING, AND INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT FOR THE WELFARE STATE: A REVIEW OF THE EMPIRICAL LITERATURE (2013, neutral): “In one study (Montalvo and Reynal-Querol, 2005a) they also study economic growth and come to the opposite conclusion than Alesina et al. (2003), namely that polarization is more strongly associated with growth than fractionalization.”
• Migration, diversity, and economic growth (2017, background): “Yet, whereas several authors have argued theoretically in terms of polarization but used as an empirical proxy the index of fractionalization, Montalvo and Reynal-Querol (2005a) show how polarization is better suited to capture the concept of social tensions.”
• Barriers to Investment in Polarized Societies (2011, background): “Montalvo and Reynal-Querol (2005) find that while ethnic fractionalization significantly reduces growth, ethnic polarization does not.”
• Cultural diversity and economic growth: Evidence from the US during the age of mass migration (2013, background): “…diverse, and in particular, a more polarized population can however also have a detrimental effect on output growth if it is associated with increased social conflict and a reduction in the quality and quantity of public good provision (Alesina et al., 1999; Montalvo and Reynal-Querol, 2005a,b).”
• Innovation in Regions (2007, background): “Cultural diversity is often discussed as having a negative influence on economic performance (see for a discussion and literature overview Montalvo and Reynal-Querol (2005)).”
