Conflict and agricultural productivity: Evidence from Myanmar por Myanmar Agriculture Policy Support Activity

“…We find that the increase in violent events significantly changed rice productivity. Specifically, increases in fatal violent events between 2020 and 2021 reduced rice Total Factor Productivity (TFP) – a measure of how efficiently agricultural inputs are used to produce rice – by about 4 percent on average in the short-run. …”
