The socio-economic determinants of terrorism and political violence in Western Europe (1994–2007) (2011, background): “That is, from both theories it is possible to infer that income inequality within societies can easily translate into political instability (see among others Dutt and Mitra, 2008; Murshed and Gates, 2005; Alesina and Perotti, 1996).”
Population Pressure, Horizontal Inequality and Political Violence: A Disaggregated Study of Indonesian Provinces, 1990–2003 (2011, background): “…analyse geographical units (for example, Buhaug and Rød, 2006; Raleigh and Urdal, 2007; Hegre et al., 2009) or sub-national political units (for example, Tadjoeddin et al., 2003; Justino, 2005; Murshed and Gates, 2005; Tadjoeddin and Murshed, 2007; Mancini, 2008; Urdal, 2008; Østby et al., 2009).”
Irevisiting The Greed And Grievance Explanations For Violent Internal Conflict (2009, methodology): “In Nepal, the lack of development in remote rural districts of the country fuelled the Maoist insurgency (Murshed and Gates, 2005).”
Addressing poverty and inequality in the rural economy from a global perspective (2015, background): “Worse still, Murshed and Gates (2005) single out territorial inequalities as not only a chief cause of the Nepalese civil war, but also positively link the extent of these inequalities with the intensity of bloodshed.”
Why Horizontal Inequalities Matter: Some Implications for Measurement. (2005, background): “Examples where group inequalities have been a factor in provoking conflict include: Côte d'Ivoire, Rwanda, Northern Ireland, Chiapas, and the Sudan to mention just a few (see (Gurr, 1993; Stewart, 2002; Gurr and Moore, 1997; Langer, 2005; Murshed and Gates, 2005).”
War and poverty (2010, unknown): “…between low-per capita income and the risk of armed internal conflict breaking out and persisting (Collier et al 2004; Collier and Hoeffler 1998, 2004; Do and Iyer 2007; Doyle and Sambanis 2006; Fearon and Laitin 2003; Murshed and Gates 2005; Stewart and Fitzgerald 2001; World Bank 2005).”
Poverty and Violent Conflict: A Micro-Level Perspective on the Causes and Duration of Warfare (2009, unknown): “Empirical analyses of civil war point to low-per capita income as one of the most robust explanations for the outbreak and duration of violent internal conflict (Collier et al. 2003; Collier, Hoeffler and Söderbom 2004; Collier and Hoeffler 1998, 2004; Do and Iyer 2007; Doyle and Sambanis 2006; Elba”
Inequality and the Imperative for Inclusive Growth in Asia (2007, background): “This is especially true for South Asian countries like India and Nepal.”
PRIO-GRID: A unified spatial data structure (2012, background): “…replaced by grid cells (e.g. Buhaug & Rød, 2006; Raleigh & Urdal, 2007), geographically distinct ethnic groups (e.g. Buhaug, Cederman & Rød, 2008; Weidmann, 2009) or subnational administrative entities (e.g. Murshed & Gates, 2005; Østby, Nordås & Rød, 2009) to better capture local variation.”
Do natural resources matter for interstate and intrastate armed conflict? (2014, background): “…abundance and dependence may also aggravate grievances leading to conflict if a particular resource is controlled by only one group (Wick & Bulte, 2006), or if citizens perceive the distribution of resource rents to be unfair (Østby, Nordas & Rød, 2009; Murshed & Gates, 2005; Humphreys, 2005).”
