| Abstract: | This paper investigates whether provinces with violent conflict are more likely to
experience higher rates of chronic poverty. Following the findings that education and
health outcomes are key determinants of chronic poverty, the Human Development
Index (HDI) and the Quality of Life Index (QLI) are used as proxy variables for chronic
poverty. T-tests of means for HDI and QLI are performed, comparing provinces with
conflict and provinces without conflict. Results show that provinces experiencing
conflict have significantly lower HDI outcomes relative to provinces that did not experience conflict. Pooled results for the QLI also show a statistically significant difference between the means of provinces with and without conflict. |
