This book uses machine-learning to identify the causes of conflict from among the top predictors of conflict. This methodology elevates some complex causal pathways that cause civil conflict over others, thus teasing out the complex interrelationships between the most important variables that cause civil conflict.

In spite of intense but traditional academic effort, a unique formal framework to study civil conflict has been elusive. This book uses predictive machine learning to highlight a framework to identify potential causes of civil conflict. Machine learning also improves the human ability to predict and therefore prevent conflict.

This book develops a machine-learning framework for predicting economic growth. While machine learning itself is not a new idea, advances in computing technology combined with a dawning realization of its applicability to economic questions makes it a new tool for economists.
