TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - The tree of political violence: a GMERT analysis JO - Empirical economics A1 - Bassetti, Thomas A1 - Caruso, Raul A1 - Schneider, Friedrich SP - 839 EP - 850 VL - 54 IS - 2 N2 - The aim of this article is to highlight that some economic correlates of Islamist political violence matter differently when they are considered in a specific path. In order to show this, we use a Generalized Mixed Effects Regression Tree analysis. This methodology combines the structure of random effects models for longitudinal data with the flexibility of a tree regression method. The latter is a nonparametric method for estimating a regression function.
