“…Losses from conflict such as decreases in earning capacities can stem indirectly from the inability to sell and buy goods due to difficulties to get to the markets (Justino 2008). Infrastructural destruction and security considerations can limit access to markets, impacting on those who rely on people's exchange activities ('loss of access to input markets'; 'loss of access to output markets').…”

“…The inability to invest in future production can stem from losses of savings, the inability to access credit markets, and the disappearance of informal risksharing networks (Justino 2008;) So far it has been difficult to evaluate changes in the access to credit markets during and after violent conflict due to the lack of appropriate data. This has partly to do with the fact that most existing surveys in conflict-affected countries focus on post-conflict reconstruction rather than surveying economic dynamics during the conflict.…”

Terms of use: Documents in 1 Executive SummaryThe overall goal of the report is to increase the capacity of researchers and policy makers to identify comparatively, and across time, how individuals, households and communities are affected by violent conflict. The report provides an extensive overview of existing practices and datasets used in this field of research. We investigate existing methodologies and data-bases used to operationalize the variables of interest and discuss the channels linking violent conflict to individual and household welfare. Special attention is paid to methodological issues on how to design a module and operationalize variables that allow researchers to analyze the welfare effects of violent conflict across countries and across time.We develop and discuss a generic household module that can be easily inserted into future socio-economic surveys implemented in conflict-affected countries. This module will enable researchers to address specific violencerelated issues comparatively across different conflict settings and systematically across time. The module proposed builds on previous experiences on survey designs in conflict-affected areas. We review existing conflict-and violence-related questionnaires, with a special focus on World Bank's Living Standard Measurement Surveys (LSMS), and propose suggestions on how to improve questionnaires in order to deepen the understanding of the nature of violent conflict and the channels whereby conflict and violence affect the welfare characteristics and choices of individuals and households in conflict areas.

“…and collection of systematic and comparable micro-level datasets (Justino 2008). However, with the exception of recent research on civil wars (Kalyvas 2007;Petersen 2001;Weinstein 2007;Wood 2006) and urban violence (Moser and McIlwaine 2004), few studies combine large quantitative surveys and qualitative methods of analysis to research the outbreak, consequences and processes of violence at the micro-level.…”

The analysis of violence from an individual or household perspective is arguably one of the most challenging research areas in social science. Outbreaks of violence affect the core of human relations and social norms. They occur in non‐linear cycles, and co‐exist at different levels of social interaction within the family, the community or the state. Analysis of this complexity cannot be restricted to one social science discipline or method of analysis. This article reflects on an innovative methodology adopted to capture the experience of living with violence in communities in Brazil, Jamaica, Mexico and Nigeria. The methodology confronted disciplinary boundaries by encouraging close dialogue between quantitative and qualitative researchers in violent settings, and creating processes for learning and sharing. This article describes the methodology, presents the main results of the quantitative analysis and reflects on the challenges and lessons.
