ABSTRACT

People living in contexts affected by conflict suffer from many forms of deprivation. Failure in the delivery of assistance can translate into the further deterioration of their conditions. This paper combines a geo-referenced household dataset collected in South Sudan in 2017 with information on conflict events from the ACLED. The collection of data in areas extensively affected by violence fills an important gap in the literature. We analyse conflict exposure and test the link with humanitarian assistance. We find that people living in high-intensity conflict areas received less assistance. We suggest social elites and marginalisation as a possible explanation.

摘要

生活在受冲突影响的环境中的人们遭受多种形式的剥夺。未能提供援助可能会导致他们的状况进一步恶化。本文将 2017 年在南苏丹收集的地理参考家庭数据集与 ACLED 的冲突事件信息相结合。在广泛受暴力影响的地区收集数据填补了文献中的一个重要空白。我们分析冲突暴露并测试与人道主义援助的联系。我们发现生活在高强度冲突地区的人们得到的援助较少。我们建议将社会精英和边缘化作为一种​​可能的解释。
