Sending peace home! The effect of political favoritism on conflict

Andreas Kammerlander and Kerstin Unfried

Journal of Comparative Economics, 2026, vol. 54, issue 1, 66-81

Abstract: In this paper we investigate and assess the link between political favoritism and domestic conflict. In particular, we compare the difference in the likelihood and intensity of conflict between regions in which citizens reside that belong to identity groups of political leaders and others over time in a global sample for autocracies and non-autocratic regimes.
