Strategic Mass Killings
构建了一个冲突与群体屠杀决策模型，识别出自然资源租金高、族群极化、制度约束租金分享且劳动生产率低的国家最可能发生群体屠杀，并用国家和族群层面的数据验证了石油、天然气、钻石等资源的作用。
We provide a model of conflict and mass killing decisions, to identify the key variables and situations that make mass killings more likely to occur. We predict that mass killings are most likely in countries with large amounts of natural resource rents, polarization, institutional constraints regarding rent sharing, and low productivity of labor. The role of resources like oil, gas and diamonds and other key determinants of mass killings is confirmed by our empirical results based on country level as well as ethnic group level analysis.
