CONFLICT AND INTERNAL DISPLACEMENT IN NEPAL: SOCIO-ECONOMIC QUERY

Raghu B. Bista

Abstract


This study investigates empirically what is conflict-induced displacement in Nepal from 1996 to 2004 after the conflict led by the Maoist rebel. We use econometric model based on Consumption Econometric Model. The econometric model estimation provides higher consumption demand than average consumption per capita of the displaced people in five development regions of Nepal. The result indicates critical living standard in urban areas because of unguaranteed non-agricultural income.


Keywords
