Does violent conflict affect the labor supply of farm households? The Nigerian experience

Abstract: Nigeria has experienced bouts of violent conflict in different regions since its independence leading to significant loss of life. In this article, we explore the average effect of exposure to violent conflict generally on labor supply in agriculture. Using a nationally representative panel dataset for Nigeria from 2010 to 2015, in combination with armed conflict data, we estimate the average effect of exposure to violent conflict on a household's farm labor supply. Our findings suggest that on average, exposu… Show more

Using panel data and a fixed effect strategy attenuates biases in coefficients and increases the likelihood that estimated effects are consistent (Odozi & Oyelere, 2021). The FE model can be specified as follows.…”
