Growth Dynamics: The Myth of Economic Recovery: Comment

Article Citation

Mueller, Hannes. 2012. "Growth Dynamics: The Myth of Economic Recovery: Comment." American Economic Review, 102(7): 3774-77.

Abstract

This comment highlights different ways of coding crisis episodes in Cerra and Saxena (2008) (CS). The comment shows that the coding used for civil war implies a misrepresentation of its impact. A correct coding of civil war reveals that the average civil war leads to a loss in output of 18 percent. This makes civil wars more devastating than all other crisis studied by CS.
