我们表明，在乌干达的武装冲突影响公民参与，政治讨论和地方会议出席的频率来衡量。依靠四轮全国代表性的个人层面的数据，公民参与包围了大量的战斗事件，我们发现，公民参与增加的地区，在战斗事件发生。来自各种识别策略的证据，包括差异中的差异和IV估计，表明这种关系是因果关系。然而，与以往的研究不同，我们发现经历暴力并不影响正式的选举参与。
We show that armed conflict in Uganda affects civic participation, measured by the frequency of political discussion and local meeting attendance. Relying on four rounds of nationally representative individual-level data on civic participation bracketing a large number of battle events, we find that civic participation increases in districts in which battle events took place. Evidence from a variety of identification strategies, including difference-in-difference and IV estimates, suggest that the relationship is causal. However, unlike previous studies, we find that experiencing violence does not affect formal electoral participation.
