We investigate the relationship between exposure to the Burundi Civil War and household (food) poverty, using a three-wave household-level panel matched with data on local-level violence. We find that households living in localities exposed to the war have been subsequently more likely to be poor than non-exposed households. Within-household estimations, controlling for time-varying heterogeneity at the province level, confirm the positive impact of violence exposure on household poverty. We investigate some of the potential mechanisms at play in the violence – poverty nexus, and the role of violence exposure in household poverty dynamics over time. Our results notably suggest that the destruction of physical capital, as well as a shift of exposed households out of non-farm activities, shape poverty dynamics and lower their chances of durably remaining out of poverty.

暴力暴露与贫困：来自布隆迪内战的证据

我们使用与当地暴力数据相匹配的三波家庭级小组调查布隆迪内战与家庭（食物）贫困之间的关系。我们发现，与未受战争影响的家庭相比，生活在遭受战争影响的地区的家庭随后更可能陷入贫困。家庭内部估计，控制了省一级的时变异质性，证实了暴力暴露对家庭贫困的积极影响。我们调查了一些在暴力中发挥作用的潜在机制——贫困关系，以及随着时间的推移，暴力暴露在家庭贫困动态中的作用。我们的研究结果特别表明，物质资本的破坏，以及暴露家庭从非农业活动中转移，
