  • Sample Size Requirements for Simple and Complex Mediation Models

    Open AccessMikyung Sim, Michael Lostumbo et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…2022

    Mediation models have been widely used in many disciplines to better understand the underlying processes between independent and dependent variables. Despite their popularity and importance, the appropriate sample sizes for estimating those models are not well known. Although several approaches (such as Monte Carlo methods) exist, applied researchers tend to use insufficient sample sizes to estimate their models of interest, which might result in…

  • What Deters and Why

    Alireza Nader, Arthur Chan et al.BOOKWhat Deters and Why2021

    As part of a series of reports in which RAND researchers examine the established concepts of deterrence and develop a framework for evaluating the strength of deterrent relationships, this report explores two ongoing examples of extended deterrence.

  • The Business of Peace

    Derek EatonARTICLEAfrican Affairs2007Cited by: 23

    Peace-building NGOs are frequently at work along the Kenya–Uganda border. But in this desolate region, results have been extremely sparse. This article contends that this is due to the inadequacies of contemporary understandings of cattle raiding. Most NGOs and many academics ascribe cattle raids to a familiar array of factors such as resource scarcity, small arms proliferation, and generational conflict. While each issue is obviously of some rel…

  • Opportunities for managing solid waste flows in the periurban interface of Bamako and Ouagadougou

    Open AccessDerek Eaton, D Hilhorst et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Urbanization2003

    This paper examines the links between solid urban waste management and peri-urban agriculture in Bamako and Ouagadougou. Staple crop farmers in the vicinity of both cities value urban waste as a source of organic matter and are prepared to pay for it. Cultivation on degraded soils has even been revived in some cases thanks to this readily available resource. However, uncertain land tenure means that farmers have little incentive to ensure the saf…
