In spite of intense but traditional academic effort, a unique formal framework to study civil conflict has been elusive. This book uses predictive machine learning to highlight a framework to identify potential causes of civil conflict. Machine learning also improves the human ability to predict and therefore prevent conflict.

Using Machine Learning to Understand Civil Conflict

Predicting Hotspots

This book develops a machine-learning framework for predicting economic growth. It can also be considered as a primer for using machine learning (also known as data mining or data analytics) to answer economic questions. While machine learning itself is not a new idea, advances in computing technology combined with a dawning realization of its applicability to economic questions makes it a new tool for economists.
