摘要

我利用差异模型（DiD）研究了上帝抵抗军（LRA）叛乱对乌干达北部教育成果的影响，该模型利用了不同出生组群和地理位置的冲突强度差异。结果表明，受冲突影响的个人在完成学业年数、小学毕业率和识字率方面都有所下降，不同性别和居住地的影响也各不相同。研究还探讨了供需机制，发现学校建设和维修减少、过度拥挤以及流离失所导致的师生比例增加加剧了这些教育挫折。这些机制对于了解战争对家庭、社区和社会服务的广泛影响至关重要。

Violent Conflicts and Education: The LRA Insurgency in Northern Uganda Revisited

I investigate the impact of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) insurgency on educational outcomes in Northern Uganda, using a Difference–in–Differences (DiD) model that leverages variations in conflict intensity across birth cohorts and geographic locations. The results show that individuals exposed to the conflict experience declines in completed years of schooling, primary school completion, and literacy, with varying effects by gender and place of residence. The study also explores supply and demand mechanisms, finding that reduced school construction and repairs, overcrowding, and increased studen–teacher ratios due to displacement exacerbate these educational setbacks. These mechanisms are crucial for understanding war’s broader impact on households, communities, and social services.

期刊介绍： World Development is a multi-disciplinary monthly journal of development studies. It seeks to explore ways of improving standards of living, and the human condition generally, by examining potential solutions to problems such as: poverty, unemployment, malnutrition, disease, lack of shelter, environmental degradation, inadequate scientific and technological resources, trade and payments imbalances, international debt, gender and ethnic discrimination, militarism and civil conflict, and lack of popular participation in economic and political life. Contributions offer constructive ideas and analysis, and highlight the lessons to be learned from the experiences of different nations, societies, and economies.
