Item type:Publication, Armed groups: Competition and political violenceWe show that the proliferation of armed groups increases the amount of organized political violence. The natural death of a tribal leader provides quasi-experimental variation in the number of armed groups across districts in Pakistan. Employing event study designs and IV-regressions allows us to isolate the effect of the number of armed groups on political violence from locational fundamentals of conflict, e.g., local financing and recruiting opportunities or government capacity. In line with the idea that armed groups compete for resources and supporters, we estimate semi-elasticities of an additional armed group on political violence ranging from 50 to 60%. Introducing a novel proxy for government counter-insurgency efforts enables us to show that this increase is driven by insurgency groups and not the state. Moreover, we show that groups splitting-up compensate for their capacity loss by switching to non-capital intensive attacks.Type:journal articleJournal:Journal of Development EconomicsVolume:162Scopus© Citations 6 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Ethnofederalism and ethnic voting *(2024-08-15); We study how the design of subnational political borders shapes the ethnicization of national politics. We introduce novel measures that approximate the extent to which political boundaries follow a country's ethnic geography. We then analyze the effects of the 2010 constitutional reform in Kenya, which divided the country's eight provinces into 47 counties and devolved power to these new counties. Using difference-indifference designs, we find that ethnofederal reforms, reforms that increase the alignment between political divisions and ethnic geography, reduce ethnic voting in national elections. A key channel is that ethnofederalism "tranquilizes" locally powerful groups that control the provision of local public goods. Finally, we evaluate the counterfactual effects of alternative boundary proposals on ethnic voting in Kenya.Type:conference paper - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
