Armed Conflict Exposure, Human Capital Investments and Child Labor: Evidence from Colombia
This paper estimates the effect that exposure to armed conflict has on school drop-out and labor decisions of Colombian children between the ages of six and seventeen.

Consistent with a simple model...

The identification strategy exploits exogenous variation in the conflict's geographic extent and timi...
