Conflict research: replication and robustness shortlist
A quieter view of published empirical conflict research that may suit a topic-focused replication exercise. It reads directly from the main prioritization database, so corrections and new records do not need to be maintained twice.
The current decision: which papers form a coherent set that participants can run and stress-test, and where would the result matter? Mechanical reproducibility is useful, but the main opportunity is to test sensitivity to data construction, spatial units, conflict coding, and other defensible analytic choices.
-workshop-set papers
-other conflict papers in the database
-with a structured robustness note
-with data or one-day feasibility checked
1. Feasible for the event
Prefer published work with accessible data and code, a manageable stack, and analysis a team can run within the workshop format.
2. Worth stress-testing
Look for shared measurement choices and plausible forking paths: geocoding, event definitions, spatial aggregation, ethnicity maps, rainfall measures, spillovers, and outcome thresholds.
3. Consequential if revised
Check whether funders, governments, aid agencies, or later research rely on the result. Influence should be evidenced, not assumed from venue alone.
