Resumen
Descripción
The authors conduct an econometric
analysis of the economic and social factors which
contributed to the spread of violent conflict in Nepal. They
find that conflict intensity is significantly higher in
places with greater poverty and lower levels of economic
development. Violence is higher in locations that favor
insurgents, such as mountains and forests. The authors find
weaker evidence that caste divisions in society are
correlated with the intensity of civil conflict, while
linguistic diversity has little impact.
