  • From Predation to Production Post-conflict - Working Paper 200 - Jan 20, 2010
    This paper builds an analytical framework that models predation (banditry) and production as part of the choice of a rational utility-maximising agent.
  • How Soon Can Donors Exit From Post-Conflict States? - Working Paper 141 - Feb 25, 2008
    When can a donor leave a post-conflict state confident that the country will not relapse into violence? The answer, according to a new CGD working paper by Satish Chand and his co-author: not for a very long time. In the cases of Liberia, Mozambique, the Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste, considered here, the authors argue, the best-case scenario for successful exit ranges from 15 to 27 years. An extended donor presence, says Chand, is necessary for the creation, sustenance, and maturation of institutions that will hold the state together when donors leave. Learn More
