The agricultural impacts of armed conflicts: the case of Fulani militia
利用尼日利亚全国面板数据和武装冲突数据，研究发现富拉尼民兵暴力显著降低了农业产出、特定主粮作物产量和收获面积，并通过增加牛只盗窃和损失减少了农户的牛群持有量。
Abstract Fulani ethnic militia (FEM) violence has increased significantly in recent years, making it one of the most lethal groups in the world. However, empirical evidence on the impacts of FEM on agriculture is scarce. We investigate the agricultural impacts of such violence in the case of Nigeria using a nationally representative panel dataset and armed conflict data. We find that increased FEM violence reduces agricultural output, outputs of specific staple crops and area harvested. FEM violence also reduces farmers’ cattle holdings by increasing cattle thefts and losses and reducing purchased cattle. The agricultural development implications of the FEM cannot be ignored.
