The legacy of rebel taxation on post-conflict fiscal capacity
Civil wars often erode state sovereignty, as institutions are replaced or co-opted by armed groups that establish informal governance structures. Among these, rebel taxation emerges as a key tool for financing wartime activities but also for administering territories. In this article, we explore whether wartime rebel taxation shapes post-conflict governments’ fiscal capacity, drawing on cross-national data from post-conflict states in Africa betw…
Legalization and Long-Term Outcomes of Immigrant Workers
This article establishes a new fact about immigration policies: granting legal status to undocumented immigrants has long-term effects on their formal employment and assimilation. We exploit the broad amnesty enacted in Italy in 2002, together with rich survey data collected in 2011 on a representative sample of immigrant households, to estimate the long-run effects of receiving legal amnesty. Immigrants who were not eligible for the amnesty have…
Opium Price Shocks and Prescription Opioids in the USA
We investigate the effect of international opium price shocks on the per capita dispensation of prescription opioids in the USA. Using quarterly county‐level data for 2002q4–2016q4, three main results emerge. First, reductions in opium prices significantly increase the quantity of opioids prescribed, and more so in counties with a larger pre‐existing market for pain relief, as captured by the incidence of mining sites. Second, the increase involv…
Mothers at peace
A considerable body of empirical evidence indicates that conflict affects reproductive behaviour, often resulting in an increased fertility rate due to higher child mortality and limited access to healthcare services. However, we know much less about the effect of peace in a post-conflict setting. This study explores how the external provision of security affects fertility by focusing on the UN intervention in Liberia. Combining DHS birth history…

The Effects of Conflict on Fertility
Our study analyzes the fertility effects of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. We study the effects of violence on both the duration time to the first birth in the early post-genocide period and on the total number of post-genocide births per woman up to 15 years following the conflict. We use individual-level data from Demographic and Health Surveys, estimating survival and count data models. This article contributes to the literature on the demograph…
