Aiding Conflict: The Impact of U.S. Food Aid on Civil War
Published By: BREAD on eSS | Published Date: January, 22 , 2012This paper examines the effect of U.S. food aid on conflict in recipient countries (these include Asian countries like Afghanistan, Sri Lanka). To establish a causal relationship, time variation in food aid is exploited which is caused by fluctuations in U.S. wheat production together with cross-sectional variation in a country's tendency to receive any food aid from the United States.
