Ethnic Conflict and Group Concentration Data for Replication

Replication data for a 2009 study on the relationship between geography, ethnic group concentration, and conflict. The dataset was created by Nils B. Weidmann of ETH Zurich for the Journal of Conflict Resolution. Its specific geographic scope, temporal coverage, and size are not detailed in the provided metadata.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between ethnic group concentration and conflict likelihood based on geographic variables.
• Analyzing spatial patterns of ethnic conflict as described in the original study.
• Replicating statistical findings from the published paper on geography and conflict.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed publication in the Journal of Conflict Resolution.
• Authored by a researcher from ETH Zurich, suggesting academic rigor.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
