New CEPR Discussion Paper - DP21428
Violence, Political Selection, and State Formation: Evidence from Post-Unification Italy

What if violence doesn’t just reduce participation — but changes who gets elected?
New evidence from post-unification Italy shows conflict reshaped political elites and long-run state-building. 👇🇮🇹
🔗 cepr.org/publications/dp2142…
Broader takeaway: violence can affect development not only through destruction or lower participation, but through a political-selection channel:
Conflict → Different elites → Different policies.

My phd student Olly Brufal (brufalo.github.io) has a very interesting WP on historical British public service. He exploits a very interesting 1870 reform. Take a look at it ! ehes.org/wp/EHES_288.pdf
