            Intergroup conflict is among the most pressing problems facing human society, giving rise 
            including wars and discrimination. This research program aims to study sources as well as 

            inter-group conflict. Specific topics include the legacies of exposure to war violence on 
            identity, reintegration of former soldiers, spreading of hostile attitudes and behaviour a
            magnifiers of discrimination of ethnic minorities. Conceptually, our work is motivated by 

            economics and psychology. To find answers, we use tools from experimental economics and co
            micro-level data among relevant populations in the field settings, such as Uganda, Sierra 
            Republic of Georgia, or Eastern Slovakia.
