She  received a CSWS Graduate Student Research Grant for this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Javed  compiles a novel data set of honor killings using newspaper reports  from 11 local and national news sources, covering 40 months. The data suggests approximately 70% of victims of honor-based  crimes are young women, while 50% of perpetrators are members of the  victim\u2019s natal family. The research exploits rainfall variation to  examine how income shocks may affect honor killings. The results suggest that a one standard deviation increase in the  current and previous month\u2019s rainfall from the local long run average  increases reported honor killing incidents by 6.6%. Dry shocks have no  significant effect. Higher than average rainfall shocks reduce production of cotton, a major cash crop, likely negatively  affecting income. The results provide suggestive evidence that adverse  income shocks are an underlying cause of murder of individuals for  \u201chonor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Please bring your lunch to enjoy!
