  1. Nam Kyu Kim (2016): Revisiting Economic Shocks and Coups
    This article revisits the oft-cited relationship between economic shocks and coups. According to conventional wisdom, economic recessions trigger coups. ... This article claims that this is partly because existing studies have not differentiated transitory from permanent shocks to the economy. Two different economic shocks could have different effects on coups. ... To overcome these problems, I use exogenous rainfall and temperature variation to instrument for economic growth.

  2. Ronald Bosman & Arno Riedl (2003): Emotions and Economic Shocks in a First-Price Auction
    To induce emotions, we confront subjects after a first auction series with apositive or negative random economic shock. ... Our main results are: (i) the economic shock has asubstantial impact on the experienced emotions of bidders; (ii) the emotional statesystematically influences bidding behavior.

  3. Mario Coccia (2009): Business cycles and the scale of economic shock
    The purpose of this paper is to determine the scale of economic shocks (SES), considering a new indicator based on the duration (in months) of contractions and expansions within Business Cycles and their amplitude, measured by GDP percent change based on chained 2000 dollars. ... The result is that the SES shows the real economic impact of contractions and expansions over time and serves as a warning signal that the economic system is entering into a turbulent state in the short-run.

  4. Hodler, Roland & Raschky, Paul A. (2014): Economic shocks and civil conflict at the regional level
    We study the effects of economic shocks on civil conflict at the subnational level using a panel dataset of 5689 administrative regions from 53 African countries with yearly observations from 1992 to 2010. We find that economic shocks, measured by nighttime light intensity and instrumented by lagged rainfall levels and droughts, increase the probability of civil conflict.

  6. Andrew E. Clark & Conchita d'Ambrosio & Rohde Nicolas (2021): Prenatal Economic Shocks and Birth Outcomes
    We consider the effects of major prenatal economic shocks experienced by mothers on two indicatorsof newborn-infant health, birth weight and head circumference, using detailed microdata from the UKALSPAC survey. Controlling for physiological and socioeconomic factors, an economic shock in the first18 weeks of gestation lowers birth weight by 40-70 grams and head circumference by 2-3mm.

  8. Ibrahim Elbadawi & Håvard Hegre (2008): Globalization, Economic Shocks, And Internal Armed Conflict
    Critics of trade liberalization argue that globalization increases countries' vulnerability to economic shocks and hence may exacerbate domestic social conflict. ... Others argue that globalization promotes economic growth and reduces poverty, which leads to a reduction in the risk of internal conflict. ... This article investigates the impact of trade and trade shocks on the risk of intrastate conflict. A set of operationalizations of economic shock is developed and used to analyze the risk of conflicts that involve at least 25 battle deaths per year. The analysis finds no robust evidence for a direct relationship between trade openness, trade shocks, and the risk of armed conflict.

  9. Feng, Yun & Liu, Chelsea & Yawson, Alfred (2023): Economic shocks, M&A advisors, and industry takeover activity
    The paper examines the role of M&A advisors in propagating takeover activity following economic shocks that affect industry conditions. ... We posit that, at an industry level, M&A advisors also play a significant role in propagating aggregate merger activity in the wake of an industry shock. The empirical results show a positive, significant relationship between the presence of M&A advisors and industry takeover activity, and offer evidence supporting the incremental role of M&A advisors following industry shocks. The results are robust to empirical strategies aimed at alleviating endogeneity concerns, including using a legislative change as an exogenous shock to M&A advisors and exploring reverse causality.

  10. Asma Hyder & Jere R. Behrman & Hans-Peter Kohler (2012): Negative Economic Shocks and Child Schooling: Evidence from Rural Malawi
    This study investigates the impacts of negative economic shocks on child schooling in households of rural Malawi, one of the poorest countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). ... Both individually-reported and community-level shocks are investigated. A priori the impact of negative shocks on schooling may be negative (if income effects dominate) or positive (if price effects dominate). Also the effects may be larger for measures of idiosyncratic shocks (if there is considerable within-community variation in experiencing shocks) or for aggregate shocks (if community support networks buffer better idiosyncratic than aggregate shocks). ... The study finds that negative economic shocks have significant negative impacts on child school enrollment and grade attainment, with the estimated effects of the community shocks larger and more pervasive than the estimated effects of idiosyncratic shocks and with the estimated effects of shocks reported by men as large or larger than the estimated effects of shocks reported by women.
