The Effects of Armed Conflict on Educational Attainment and Inequality

Type: Research
Year of Publishing: 2016
Keywords: Conflict, inequality, educational attainment
We use the variation in the timing of conflict between countries using a difference-in-differences matching strategy to identify the impacts of armed conflict on years of schooling and educational inequality. We draw upon data from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program and the Ethnic Power Relations databases, which enable us to distinguish between ethnic and non-ethnic conflicts. Further, we are able to identify the effect of conflict onset as well as the incidence of conflict in years following onset.
