Miguel, Edward; Gugerty, Mary Kay, 2014, "Replication data for: Ethnic Diversity, Social Sanctions, and Public Goods in Kenya", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/28057, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:5:ktHrknIZRoKoVfyR14kNxg== [fileUNF]
This paper examines ethnic diversity and local public goods in rural western Kenya. The identification strategy relies on the stable historically determined patterns of ethnic land settlement. Ethnic diversity is associated with lower primary school funding and worse school facilities, and there is suggestive evidence that it leads to poor water we... |

This paper estimates the impact of a large anti-poverty cash transfer program, the Uruguayan PANES, on political support for the government that implemented it. Using the discontinuity in program assignment based on a pretreatment eligibility score, we find that beneficiary households are 11 to 13 percentage points more likely to favor the current... |

Hsiang, Solomon M; Burke, Marshall; Miguel, Edward, 2014, "Replication data for: Reconciling Temperature-conflict Results in Kenya", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/27558, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:5:uqdAWDhXD01r003d371lyA== [fileUNF]
Thiesen (JPR, 2012) recently constructed a novel high-resolution data set of intergroup and political conflict in Kenya (1989-2004) and examined whether the risk of conflict onset and incidence responds to annual pixel-level variations in temperature and precipitation. Thiesen concluded that only extreme precipitation is associated with conflict in... |

Despite their importance, there is limited evidence on how institutions can be strengthened. Evaluating the effects of specific reforms is complicated by the lack of exogenous variation in institutions, the difficulty of measuring institutional performance, and the temptation to “cherry pick” estimates from among the large number of indicators requ... |
