Introducing the Rebels’ Armament Dataset (RAD): Empirical Evidence on Rebel Military Capabilities
There is a scarcity of systematic data regarding the military equipment of rebel groups engaged in intrastate conflicts. This empirical gap has impeded the rigorous evaluation of (formal) theories concerning militarized interactions between governments and rebel groups. To address this deficiency, we have developed the Rebels' Armament Dataset (RAD). This dataset provides detailed information on the military arsenals of 270 groups over the period…
Arming to fight: Rebel-government militarization and the escalation of violence in civil wars
Do more weapons in the hands of rebel groups escalate civil wars? We address this question using a recently published dataset on the armaments of 270 non-state actors. We provide a comprehensive overview of their arsenals and utilize this information in a dyadic analysis that also considers the effects of governments’ weapons stock. We show that better-armed rebel groups are involved in higher-intensity conflicts only if they receive no external …

Arm your friends and save on defense? The impact of arms exports on military expenditures
The build-up of coercive capacities: Arms imports and the outbreak of violent intrastate conflicts
Do governments' military build-ups foster the outbreak of intrastate violence? This article investigates the impact of governments' arms imports on the onset of intrastate conflicts. There is scant empirical research on the role of the external acquisition of coercive technologies, and even fewer studies explore the respective causal mechanisms of their consequences. We argue that the existing literature has not adequately considered the potentia…
Economic Incentives and the Effectiveness of Nonproliferation Norms: German Major Conventional Arms Transfers 1953–2013
Do norms constrain states’ foreign policies even in the face of strong economic incentives to ignore them? Arms exports provide an excellent opportunity to examine this question more closely. They regularly spark fierce political debates on whether to trade goods that buyers might deploy with devastating effects. We use the case of German arms exports to provide an in-depth statistical analysis of the behavior of a major arms exporter that claims…
Political Preferences and the Aging of Populations: Political-Economy Explanations of Pension Reform
Political Preferences and the Aging of Populations: Political-Economy Explanations of Pension Reform
Oliver Pamp analyzes the likelihood and extent of pension reforms from a political-economy perspective. It is shown that voters’ preferences for or against reforms are influenced by a societies’ demographic development, the generosity of its existing public pension scheme and its electoral system. The author extensively reviews existing formal models of pension systems, discusses their merits and limitations, and develops a three-period overlappi…
Einkommensungleichheit und staatliche Umverteilungsreaktionen: Ist die Mittelschicht der große Verlierer
Seit Ende der 70er Jahre hat die Ungleichheit der Faktoreinkommen in den Industriestaaten deutlich zugenommen. Gleichzeitig zeigt ein Blick auf die Entwicklung der verfügbaren Nettohaushaltseinkommen, dass ein beträchtlicher Teil dieser Ungleichheit durch staatliche Umverteilungsmaßnahmen kompensiert wurde. Die politische Debatte in der Bundesrepublik lässt vermuten, dass diese staatliche Umverteilung zu Lasten der Mittelschicht geht, diese gleic…
