darfur: Darfur Data

Description Format References

Description

Data on attitudes of Darfurian refugees in eastern Chad. Key “treatment” variable is directharm, which indicates that individual was physically injured during attacks on villages in Darfur, largely between 2003 and 2004. Hazlett (2017) argues that conditional on gender and village who is injured is effectively random. This is because injury was caused by either indiscriminate bombing, or by militia. The latter are thought to have used violence indiscriminately as well, with the purpose of driving the population out, not targeting individuals of a particular type. Key covariates that are sure to be pre-treatment include herder_dar (whether they were a herder in Darfur), farmer_dar (whether they were a farmer in Darfur), age, female (indicator for female), and past_voted (whether they vote in an earlier election, prior to the conflict.)
