The Effect of Armed Conflict on Education: Evidence from Iraq
利用2007年伊拉克家庭社会经济调查和伊拉克死亡人数数据库，研究武装冲突对教育积累和入学率的影响，发现冲突加剧会降低男女教育水平，对男孩影响更大。
This study examines to what extent armed conflict affects education accumulation and enrolment rates, and whether this effect differs by gender. It uses the 2007 Iraq Household Socio-Economic Survey data in conjunction with data on civilian deaths recorded by the Iraq Body Count database. Conflict exposure is measured by the number of deaths as a percentage of the population and number of conflict incidents. Results are robust to different identification strategies, dependent variables and conflict measures. The findings suggest an increase in conflict is associated with a decrease in education for both genders, though more pronounced for boys.
