| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This paper re-analyzes data from a survey of ex-combatants in Liberia conducted in, to estimate the effect of Liberia's Demobilization, Disarmament, Rehabilitation and Reintegration program on participants' income and employment status. As program completion was not random, these estimates are biased. I use propensity score matching to obtain a more precise estimate. The results indicate a higher employment rate for those who complete the program, although there is consistently no effect on income. These results have implications for both evaluating the outcomes in Liberia and the integrated approach to ex-combatant reintegration that the program embodied. |
