The Role of Social Media Content in Migration Aspirations: Mixed-Methods Evidence From Two Senegalese Regions Open
How does the viewing of social media content produced by Senegalese migrants residing in Europe correlate with migration aspirations of people in Senegal? We answer this research question by interrogating original survey data from two regi…

Climate disasters and individual migration aspirations: evidence from Senegal and the Gambia Open
How do climate disasters shape migration? The existing evidence presents conflicting and inconclusive findings. To address this question, we theorise the cognitive processes guiding migration decisions in the wake of disasters. On the one …

Bribes and Bombs: The Effect of Corruption on Terrorism Open
We leverage plausibly exogenous variation in regional exposure to corruption to provide causal estimates of the impact of local political corruption on terrorist activity for a sample of 175 countries between 1970 and 2018. We find that hi…

How does terrorism affect child mortality? We use geo‐coded data on terrorism and spatially disaggregated data on child mortality to study the relationship between both variables for 52 African countries between 2000 and 2017 at the 0.5 × …

Measuring the effect of climate change on migration flows: Limitations of existing data and analytical frameworks Open
The aim of this paper is to review quantitative large-N studies that investigate the effects of climate change on migration flows. Recent meta-analyses have shown that most studies find that climate change influences migration flows. There…

Observing many researchers using the same data and hypothesis reveals a hidden universe of uncertainty Open
This study explores how researchers’ analytical choices affect the reliability of scientific findings. Most discussions of reliability problems in science focus on systematic biases. We broaden the lens to emphasize the idiosyncrasy of con…

Oil and property rights Open
We investigate the role of oil in economic institutions for a sample of 150 countries between 1960 and 2014. We find that higher per capita values of oil production result in weaker economic institutions in the form of lower levels of priv…

Paying Them to Hate US: The Effect of U.S. Military Aid on Anti-American Terrorism, 1968-2018 Open
Does U.S. military aid make the United States safer? Or does it have unintended consequences for U.S. security? By exploiting plausibly exogenous time variation in global levels of U.S. military aid and cross-national time-series variation…

Terrorism and Child Mortality: Evidence from Africa Open
How does terrorism affect child mortality? We use geocoded data on terrorism and highly spatially disaggregated data on child mortality to study the relationship between both variables for 52 African countries between 2000 and 2017 at the …

Terrorism and Immigration Policy Preferences Open
What is the causal impact of terrorism on immigration policy preferences? Under what circumstances and due to which psychological micro-mechanisms does this impact materialize? To answer these questions, we provide evidence from pre-regist…

Climate change literacy and migration potential: micro-level evidence from Africa Open
While a growing literature studies the effects of climate change on international migration, still only relatively little is known about the individual mechanisms linking migration decisions to climate change. We argue that climate change …

Class Warfare: Political Exclusion of the Poor and the Roots of Social-Revolutionary Terrorism, 1860-1950 Open
We examine the effect of class cleavages on terrorist activity by anarchist and leftist terrorist groups in 99 countries over the 1860-1950 period. We find that higher levels of political exclusion of the poor, our main measure of class co…

How climate change leads to emigration: Conditional and long‐run effects Open
We study the effect of climate change on migration from 121 developing and emerging countries to 20 OECD countries between 1980 and 2010. In contrast to earlier studies, we differentiate between low‐ and high‐skilled migrants to account fo…
