Albertus answers this question through the study of the prominent case of Peru by leveraging original data on all land expropriations under military rule from 1969-1980 and event-level data from the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission on rural killings during Peru's internal conflict from 1980-2000. Through this research, Albertus found that land reform dampened subsequent conflict. Read more here...

Trinitapoli discusses how African mortality rates impact the decision: “How many babies do I need to have now if I’d like to have three adult children in 30 years?” Read more here...
