Essays on Economics of Conflicts Essays on Economics of Conflicts A Thesis Presented by Figo Sze Yeung Lau to Department of Economics Royal Holloway, University of London 2018 In Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Subject of Economics Declaration of Authorship I, Sze Yeung Lau, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ i Acknowledgement: I am grateful to Royal Holloway, University of London, not only for enriching my profession in economic science but also for waving beautiful memories throughout my study here. I am especially in gratitude to Professor Michael Spagat, who has guided me into the world of economics with countless help and support. I appreciate all the friends I met in Royal Holloway, who have brought everlasting happiness into my life. ii To My Mother Ng Oi-Lin iii Abstract Chapter 1: Conflict and Child Health: Evidence from the DRC Conflicts between 1996 and 2014 This paper uses four nationally representative household surveys to investigate the dynamics of children’s health during the DRC conflicts from 1996 to 2014. I find negative effects on child HAZ scores after the First and Second Congo Wars. The ceasefire period between 2003 and 2008 significantly enhanced child nutritional performance. In contrast, the subsequent conflict in Orientale, Nord-Kivu and Sud-Kivu worsened child HAZ scores again. Chapter 2: Conflict and Development: A Methodology by Using Outer Space Data This paper pioneers the use of night light density data from satellite pictures to study the impacts of war on economic performance in seven countries. The results vary by conflict, with clear negative effects in Syria and Iraq. The Afghan War appears to stimulate economic development while no statistically significant effect has been found for the case of Libya, Colombia, Chad and the DRC. In general, the impacts of war on economic development are heterogeneous, conditional on the country specific characteristics. Chapter 3: Conflict and Fertility: A Case Study by the DRC Conflicts This paper studies the impact of conflict on fertility in the Democratic Republic of Congo by employing four nationally representative household surveys, the results estimated by women between 15 and 49 years old display a lower fertility level during the ceasefire periods. In other words, conflict boosts the fertility level, which can be explained by a risk-insurance effect. However, this result suffers from omitted variable bias. For younger women samples between 15 and 23 years old, the estimation turns out to be insignificant. Hence, it shows that the DRC conflicts has not had a significant impact on fertility. iv Contents List of Acronyms ................................................................................................................................................. viii List of Tables ......................................................................................................................................................... ix List of Figures ......................................................................................................................................................... x List of Maps ........................................................................................................................................................... xi 1.

Cette analyse s’inscrit dans cette série d’analyses saisonnières qui cherchent à définir une situation prédicative de l’évolution de la situation alimentaire afin de renseigner le prochain cycle de l’analyse de cadre harmonisé prévu du 11 au 16 novembre 2019. Il était prévu durant cet atelier de : Comprendre l’accès à la nourriture et au revenu en tenant compte des stratégies d’adaptions à coût faible mises en place par les ménages ; Comparer la situation projetée des ménages par rapport à deux types de seuils (seuil de survie et de protection de moyens d’existence) ; Identifier le cas contraire les catégories socio-économiques affectées par les déficits ; Identifier, pour une zone donnée, la saisonnalité des déficits pour le groupe affecté sur une année de consommation. L’analyse s’est appuyée sur les données ci-dessous : - Données de la production agricole prévisionnelle de la campagne agricole 2019-2020 ; - Des paramètres clés collectés dans les zones à profil ; - Les données sur les prix des céréales (base de données FEWSNET et ANADER).

This research is done to find a suitable management way to beneficial element, fossil fuels' use allows many illnesses to improve the environmental condition, develop sustainable and economical solutions. This study focused on using Rooftop spread due to the release of thermal gases (Belkilani et al., Photovoltaic Systems for the first time in Duhok governorate, 2018). The environmental concerns created by fossil fuels Iraq, due to the rapid growth in the governorate and the great have prompted scientific researchers to research healthy demand for energy, and the high energy production costs.

  • The Politics of Security in Ninewa: Preventing an ISIS Resurgence in Northern Iraq
    The Politics of Security in Ninewa: Preventing an ISIS Resurgence in Northern Iraq Julie Ahn—Maeve Campbell—Pete Knoetgen Client: Office of Iraq Affairs, U.S. Department of State Harvard Kennedy School Faculty Advisor: Meghan O’Sullivan Policy Analysis Exercise Seminar Leader: Matthew Bunn May 7, 2018 This Policy Analysis Exercise reflects the views of the authors and should not be viewed as representing the views of the US Government, nor those of Harvard University or any of its faculty. Acknowledgements We would like to express our gratitude to the many people who helped us throughout the development, research, and drafting of this report. Our field work in Iraq would not have been possible without the help of Sherzad Khidhir. His willingness to connect us with in-country stakeholders significantly contributed to the breadth of our interviews. Those interviews were made possible by our fantastic translators, Lezan, Ehsan, and Younis, who ensured that we could capture critical information and the nuance of discussions. We also greatly appreciated the willingness of U.S. State Department officials, the soldiers of Operation Inherent Resolve, and our many other interview participants to provide us with their time and insights. Thanks to their assistance, we were able to gain a better grasp of this immensely complex topic. Throughout our research, we benefitted from consultations with numerous Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) faculty, as well as with individuals from the larger Harvard community. We would especially like to thank Harvard Business School Professor Kristin Fabbe and Razzaq al-Saiedi from the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative who both provided critical support to our project.

The impact of oil exploitation on wellbeing in Chad Abstract This study assesses the impact of oil revenues on wellbeing in Chad. Data used come from the two last Chad Household Consumption and Informal Sector Surveys ECOSIT 2 & 3 conducted in 2003 and 2011 by the National Institute of Statistics and Demographic Studies. A synthetic index of multidimensional wellbeing (MDW) is first estimated using a multiple components analysis based on a large set of welfare indicators. The Difference-in-Difference approach is then employed to assess the impact of oil revenues on the average MDW at departmental level. Results show that departments receiving intense oil transfers increased their MDW about 35% more than those disadvantaged by the oil revenues redistribution policy. Also, the farther a department is from the capital city N’Djamena, the lower its average MDW. Economic inclusion may be better promoted in Chad if oil revenues fit local development needs and are effectively directed to the poorest departments. Keys words: Poverty, Multidimensional wellbeing, Oil exploitation, Chad, Redistribution policy. JEL Codes: I32, D63, O13, O15 Authors Gadom
