Estimating the Effects of Climate Shocks on Collective Violence: ARDL Evidence from India
TLDR
This article examined the causal relationship between climate shocks and collective violence in India using annual data over the period 1954-2006 and used the ARDL bounds testing approach to deal with the problem.Abstract:

Quantifying the Influence of Climate on Human Conflict
TL;DR: The authors found strong causal evidence linking climatic events to human conflict across a range of spatial and temporal scales and across all major regions of the world, and the magnitude of climate's influence is substantial: for each 1 standard deviation (1σ) change in climate toward warmer temperatures or more extreme rainfall, median estimates indicate that the frequency of interpersonal violence rises 4% and the frequency for intergroup conflict rises 14%.

Climate Change, Weather Shocks and Violent Conflict: A Critical Look at the Evidence
Jeroen Klomp,Erwin Bulte +1 more
TL;DR: This article used cross-country data to explore whether temperature and rainfall shocks trigger violent conflict, and they found little robust evidence linking weather shocks to the onset of conflict, concluding that the impact of weather shocks is conditional on income or political regimes.

The asymmetric relationships between pollution, energy use and oil prices in Vietnam: Some behavioural implications for energy policy-making
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the long-run relationship between pollution, energy use and oil prices in Vietnam and found that hidden cointegration can signal important behavioural biases in (energy) policy-making.

What drives urbanisation in modern Cambodia? : some counter-intuitive findings
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the significant drivers of urbanization since 1994 in Cambodia by using autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) analysis and NARDL models and concluded that an increase in FDI boosts the pull-factor behind rural-urban migration.

Climate-related migration and population health: social science-oriented dynamic simulation model
TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic simulation model (DSM) was developed to understand climate migration and public health by examining each case with its own inputs, including health problems (HP), health care, non-EICC environmental health problems, and environmental health services (ES).

Co-integration and Error Correction: Representation, Estimation and Testing
TL;DR: The relationship between co-integration and error correction models, first suggested in Granger (1981), is here extended and used to develop estimation procedures, tests, and empirical examples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bounds testing approaches to the analysis of level relationships
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a new approach to the problem of testing the existence of a level relationship between a dependent variable and a set of regressors, when it is not known with certainty whether the underlying regressors are trend- or first-difference stationary.

Ethnicity, Insurgency, and Civil War
James D. Fearon,David D. Laitin +1 more
TL;DR: This article showed that the current prevalence of internal war is mainly the result of a steady accumulation of protracted conflicts since the 1950s and 1960s rather than a sudden change associated with a new, post-Cold War international system.

Statistical inference in vector autoregressions with possibly integrated processes
Hiro Y. Toda,Taku Yamamoto +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how to estimate VAR's formulated in levels and test general restrictions on the parameter matrices even if the processes may be integrated or cointegrated of an arbitrary order.

A simple estimator of cointegrating vectors in higher order integrated systems
James H. Stock,Mark W. Watson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient estimator of cointegrating vectors is presented for systems involving deterministic components and variables of differing, higher orders of integration. But the estimators are computed using GLS or OLS, and Wald Statistics constructed from these estimators have asymptotic x 2 distributions.
