Neuer Diskussionsbeitrag: Land Grabbing and Ethnic Conflict (Tim Krieger and Daniel Meierrieks)

— abgelegt unter:

Abstract:

We study the effect of large-scale land acquisitions on the risk of ethnic tensions for
a sample of 133 countries for the 2000-2012 period. Running a series of fractional response models, we find that more land  grabbing activity is associated with  a higher risk of ethnic tensions, indicating that the negative effects of land deals outweigh their potential benefits. In addition  to  that,  we  also  show  that  democratic  institutions  may  moderate  the  relationship between land deals and ethnic tensions. That is, non-democratic countries face a substantially higher risk of ethnic tensions as the level of large-scale land acquisitions increases; by contrast, strongly democratic countries tend to see lower ethnic tension risk.
