Replication Data for: A New Geography of Civil War: A Machine Learning Approach to Measuring the Zones of Armed Conflicts

资源简介:
Where do armed conflicts occur? In applied studies, we may take ad hoc approaches to answer this question. In some regression studies, for instance, a single conflict event can cause an entire province to be classified as a conflict zone. In this paper, I fill this void of knowledge by developing a machine learning method that is less dependent on the areal-unit assumptions and can flexibly estimate conflict zones. I apply the method to a conflict event dataset and create a new dataset of conflict zones. A replication of Daskin and Pringle (2018) with the new dataset indicates that the effect of civil war on mammal populations is much smaller than the original estimate.
