Whither the weather? Climate change and conflict (2012, background): “Most of the studies reported here operate over shorter time periods, so this criticism has considerable substance, although Hendrix & Salehyan (2012) and Koubi et al. (2012) measure climate variation as deviations from long-term averages. A few recent studies take a very long-term perspective (e.g. ”
Feeding unrest (2014, background): “The latter modification inherently controls for the expectations of the population, particularly farmers, regarding rainfall (Sovey & Green, 2011; Koubi et al., 2012).”
Forecasting civil conflict along the shared socioeconomic pathways (2016, background): “Recent research provides little support for an indirect association between drought and conflict via poor agro-economic performance [44, 45], but this is an area that requires more research.”
Environmental changes and violent conflict (2012, background): “Gizelis and Wooden (2010) and Koubi et al (2012) argue that economic conditions and political institutions affect the distribution of and access to environmental resources.”
Do natural resources matter for interstate and intrastate armed conflict? (2014, background): “Third, another challenge is that resources may be endogenous with respect to armed conflict (Ross, 2006; Lujala, 2009; Brunnschweiler & Bulte, 2009; Koubi et al., 2012; Mitchell & Thies, 2012; van der Ploeg & Rohner, 2012).”
Climate shocks and political violence (2014, background): “We note that some authors (e.g. Miguel et al., 2004; Koubi et al., 2012) have used rainfall as an instrument for growth in estimating the effect of GDP growth on conflict onset.”
Demand, supply, and restraint: Determinants of domestic water conflict and cooperation (2014, unknown): “To this end, we include the absolute deviation of the current level of precipitation and temperature, respectively, from past long-run levels, i.e., the 30-year moving average (see IPCC, 2007; Koubi et al., 2012).”
Climate variability, food production shocks, and violent conflict in Sub-Saharan Africa (2015, background): “Perhaps the most widely accepted indirect pathway that has been proposed in the literature features weather-driven agricultural shocks as an important intermediate step (Homer-Dixon 1991, Miguel et al 2004, Koubi et al 2012, Wischnath and Buhaug 2014).”
