After Rebel Rule: Rebel Governance and Post-conflict Development in Iraq

Fri, September 1, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), Virtual, Virtual 6

Abstract

What are the consequences of rebel rule for post-conflict development? We argue rebel governance is detrimental for post-conflict development. Utilizing newly collected geo-coded data on Islamic State governance and protected survey data on physical, social, and economic development in Iraq, we assess our propositions with a fuzzy spatial regression discontinuity design. The results support our claims and unveil important insights for policy and research.
