Can anyone help me by suggesting an appropriate extremely simple statistical method for evaluating a natural experiment. I want to analysis the effects of global warming on violent armed conflicts by using disasters as a natural experiment. I am using events data base both for disasters (EM-DAT, The international disasters database) and conflicts (Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) data base) . I am looking forward to answering the research question " Do natural disasters increase violent armed conflicts?
Thanks.
Your research topic is very exciting. There are several qualitative research approaches available in scholarly literature. Since it is related to disaster and violent armed conflicts, I will suggest you to do case study method. You can have some in-depth key informant interviews both the professionals (like, psychologist , sociologist, psychiatrist) and the people who involved in such violent activities. Snowball technique may help to find out such people. Wishing you all the very best and looking forward to read your research.
