Natural resource rents and political violence
Natural resource abundance has been linked to major violent conflicts in the world. Collier and Hoeffler [Collier, P., and A. Hoeffler. 1998. “On Economic Causes of Civil war.” Oxford Economic Papers 50 (4): 563–573. https://doi.org/10.1093/oep/50.4.563] were the first to discuss distributional concerns among different groups and their potential to instigate violence in the presence of natural resources. We have considered the dynamics between th…
Political Violence as Commitment Problem
Existence of a social contract ensures cooperation among ethnically-diverse groups, especially when they are characterised by power asymmetries. Alternatively, constitution or any other form of social contract is meant to ensure resource and power sharing mechanisms in ethnically-diverse societies. In this regard, adherence to the commitments accentuated in the contract is Pareto superior outcome that not only prevents exploitation by the powerfu…
Social Mobilization, Political Institutionalization, and Violence
Violent Conflict and Informal Institutions
Conflicts have a variety of economic, social, and institutional consequences. In this study, we analyse the institutional legacies of violent conflicts by providing evidence from a civil conflict which occurred in the district Swat of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. We consider three dimensions, i.e. Trust, Participation, and Cooperation, of informal institutions. District Buner—the neighboring district, is taken as the control district. A ran…
Moral Hazard, Monitoring and Punishment
The existing literature establishes that there exists inefficiency in energy consumption in Pakistan. In particular, with regard to electricity consumption, the problem of moral hazard is prevalent in the public sector. In this study, we observe this aspect by focusing on the behaviour of consumers once they are held liable to monitoring with the associated punishment mechanism. By providing evidence from a field experiment, we make three conclus…

Remittances and Healthcare Expenditures
This study, examines the effect of remittances on healthcare expenditure in Pakistan by utilising the Pakistan Social and Living standards Measurement (PSLM) survey. The total healthcare expenditure is classified into two categories, i.e. expenditure on medicines and expenditure on clinical services. The study analyses these categories in case of both rural and urban areas of the country. Such data is generally characterised by selection bias; th…
Fractionated illumination improves the treatment outcomes of photodynamic therapy for high grade cutaneous leishmaniasis
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been widely used in dermatology to treat different skin diseases. Here, we aim to compare the efficacy of single versus multiple fraction light illumination PDT for high grade lesions of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). In particular, 60 patients (104 CL lesions) were randomly divided into two groups; 30 patients (46 CL lesions) in group I were treated with methylaminolevulinate (MAL)-based PDT in three sessions, with …
Volatility in Discretionary Public Spending and Economic Growth
Volatility in discretionary public spending has diverse implications for the overall economic performance of economies. In this study, we examine the impact of volatile non systematic discretionary public spending on economic growth. By employing cross-country data of 74 developed and developing economies, we find that volatility in non-systematic discretionary public spending has an adverse impact on economic growth. In particular, such impact i…

This study collects data from a randomly selected 400 households on Social trust (Within-group trust and Out-group trust) and Public trust (trust on Po…
