我们研究了残酷的1991-2002年塞拉利昂内战使用全国代表性的家庭数据的冲突经验，战后经济成果，当地政治和集体行动。家庭直接经历过更激烈战争暴力的个人更有可能参加社区会议，更有可能加入当地政治和社区团体，更有可能投票。使用战前控制和替代样本的测试表明，选择受害不太可能推动结果。更具推测性的是，这些发现可能有助于部分解释塞拉利昂和最近几次非洲内战后观察到的战后政治和经济快速复苏。(C)2009 Elsevier B. V.保留所有权利。
We study the brutal 1991-2002 Sierra Leone civil war using nationally representative household data on conflict experiences, postwar economic outcomes, local politics and collective action. Individuals whose households directly experienced more intense war violence are robustly more likely to attend community meetings, more likely to join local political and community groups, and more likely to vote. Tests using prewar controls and alternative samples suggest that selection into victimization is unlikely to be driving the results. More speculatively, the findings could help partially explain the rapid postwar political and economic recoveries observed in Sierra Leone and after several other recent African civil wars.
