dc.description.abstractDoes forced displacement exacerbate regional conflict within Ethiopia? This question remains actively debated, with significant policy implications. I analyze a panel of 76 zones in Ethiopia from 2017 to 2024, using near-quarterly spatiotemporal data on internal displacement, precipitation, and conflict events. By applying a well-established two-way fixed effects panel estimator, I measure the impact of displacement on conflict while controlling for precipitation as a proxy for drought. My results show that higher levels of internally displaced persons (IDPs) have a statistically significant, though very small, positive effect on total conflict. These findings contribute to the existing literature and underscore the importance of addressing displacement, as it may play a role in exacerbating conflict in affected regions.
