Outline of Final Research Achievements

We use satellite images of the earth at night to estimate annual economic growth rates in unrecognized states in the former Soviet Union (Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria). We cannot find a discernible difference in the estimated economic growth rates between the unrecognized states and their parent states (Georgia, Azerbaijan, Moldova). This finding suggests that the lack of international recognition as a sovereign state, perhaps surprisingly, has only a limited impact on the economies of the breakaway territories.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

学術的意義は二つある。まず、内戦の経済的影響に関する統計分析は、統計データの存在しない地域については見過ごされてきた。旧ソ連の未承認国家はまさにそのようなケースである。また、内戦後の経済復興過程における政治制度の役割は、ほとんど分析されてこなかったトピックであり、未承認国家は、政治制度の一例である。社会的意義は、2014年のウクライナ危機で新たな未承認国家が生まれたように、今後も未承認国家が新たに増える可能性があり、その経済的結末を明らかにすることで、未承認国家問題を解決する重要性への含意を得ることである。
