Replication data for: No Easy Choices: Estimating the Effects of United Nations Peacekeeping (Response to King and Zeng)

In a study published in the American Political Science Review, we argued that United Nations peace operations have had a positive effect on peacebuilding processes after civil war and presented empirical evidence in support of our claim. Gary King and Langche Zeng have criticized our conclusions for being dependent on indefensible theoretical assumptions and unsupported by the empirical evidence. We show that their critique is based on a misinterpretation of our arguments, that our results are robust to alternative econometric assumptions, that their diagnostic tools cannot be meaningfully applied to our data and that they cannot be used to establish the validity of counterfactual inference.
