Determinants of Peace: A Cross-Country Analysis

Oasis Kodila-Tedika

Economic Research Guardian, 2012, vol. 2, issue 2, 180-200

Abstract: In this study, we discover the variables susceptible to affect the peace. To arrive there, we made resort to the analysis in cross-sectional. We find that the institutional variables are auspicious to the peace, especially the political stability. The macroeconomic variables are, on the whole, positive and statistically meaningful determinants of the peace, some of them not being robust. The war remains damaging to the peace and this in a robust manner. It is more or less the same report for the inequalities. The effects of the size of nation, the religion and the diversity are not as clear. The human capital seems favorable.
