Recruitment and violence in Nepal's civil war: microstudies under the microscope/ Kristine Eck - 2018

This article shows that the statistical correlation between poverty and violence during the conflict in Nepal (1996-2006) is unlikely to be explained by grievances or low opportunity costs among the poor, but is better explained by considering the rebels' strategy. This underscores the importance of validating arguments from statistical studies.
