21. Social cohesion after armed conflict: a literature review

    

    Fiedler Charlotte / Christopher Rohles (2021)
    Discussion Paper, 7/2021

    This paper brings together 39 academic studies on how armed conflict affects social cohesion. Reviewing the literature shows that conflict mostly harms social cohesion. However, this review also points toward several important caveats as well as blind-spots of the current literature.

22. The impact of patient capital on job quality, investments and firm performance: cross-country evidence on long-term finance

    

    Sommer, Christoph (2021)
    Discussion Paper, 6/2021

    Long-term finance is not only important for development and growth, but also has the potential to contribute to better jobs. This paper provides empirical evidence to what extent long-term loans affect job quality, firms’ investments in fixed assets and innovation, as well as firm performance.

23. Puzzles of political change in the Middle East: political liberalisation, authoritarian resilience and the question of systemic change

    

    Schlumberger, Oliver (2021)
    Discussion Paper, 5/2021

    The discussion paper deals with two questions: (i) Have the changes witnessed in the Arab region since 2010/-11 led to systemic transitions? - and, since the question is negated: Have political changes made systemic transitions more likely than before?

24. A behavioural perspective on the drivers of migration: studying economic and social preferences using the Gallup World Poll

    

    Klöble, Katrin (2021)
    Discussion Paper, 4/2021

    Risk-taking, patience and trust. Do such personality traits influence peoples' decision to emigrate? A study on worldwide migration intentions based on the Gallup World Poll.

25. Can integrated social protection programmes affect social cohesion? Mixed-methods evidence from Malawi

    

    Burchi, Francesco / Federico Roscioli (2021)
    Discussion Paper, 3/2021

    Using a mixed-method approach we show the impacts of an integrated social protection programme on social cohesion in Malawi. We find no concrete effect of the lump-sum transfer; in contrast, the business training enhances social cohesion especially when accompanied by participation in saving groups.

26. Governance of the water-energy-food nexus for an integrated implementation of the 2030 Agenda

    

    Srigiri, Srinivasa Reddy / Ines Dombrowsky (2021)
    Discussion Paper, 2/2021

    Understanding the conditions for coordination in the WEFNexus is key to achieving the 2030Agenda. We provide a framework for analysing nexus governance from a polycentricity perspective, which can be useful in formulating coherent strategies for the integrated implementation of the SDGs.

27. Resilience through placemaking: public spaces in Rotterdam’s climate adaptation approach

    

    Peinhardt, Katherine (2021)
    Discussion Paper, 1/2021

    Public spaces are an often-overlooked opportunity for urban climate adaptation. It is increasingly clear that the unique role of public spaces in civic life positions them to enhance not only physical resilience, but also to enhance the type of social cohesion that helps communities bounce back.

    Pegels, Anna / Stefanie Heyer / David Ohlig / Felix Kurz / Lena Laux / Prescott Morley (2020)

    How can recycling in developing countries be shaped to be socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable? Our research synthesizes the ideas and expectations of a diverse set of actors in the recycling sector of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

29. The LFDD – human mobility nexus in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean: a review of national policy and legal frameworks

    

    Serraglio, Diogo Andreola (2020)
    Discussion Paper, 22/2020

    Addressing human mobility in the context of land and forest degradation and desertification (LFDD) in global and national policy and legal frameworks remains essential for improved management of population movements related to slow onset processes.

30. Cling together, swing together: the contagious effects of COVID-19 on developing countries through global value chains

    

    Pahl, Stefan / Clara Brandi / Jakob Schwab / Frederik Stender (2020)
    Discussion Paper, 21/2020

    This paper estimates the economic vulnerability of developing countries to disruptions in global value chains due to the COVID-19 pandemic and reveals that adverse demand-side effects reduce GDP up to 5.4 percent, and collapsing foreign supply generates a drop in GDP of a similar magnitude.
