Published By: UNU-WIDER on eSS | Published Date: March, 27 , 2011A common finding in the empirical civil war literature is that population size and per

year-specific unobservables are accounted for. [Working Paper No. 2011/18] URL: [http://www.wider.unu.edu/publications/working-papers/2011/en_GB/wp2011-018/_files/85214094210564107/default/wp2011-018.pdf]
