Hypothesis

Exclusionary political strategy will be positively associated with food-destroying disasters.

Note

The food-destroying disaster variable was dichotomized for this hypothesis. The hypothesis was not significant for community level polities (p=.464) and was marginally significant for a supracommunity-level (p=.054). Overall was significant for all polities when corporate/exclusionary was trichotomized (p=.024) or dichotomized with mixed polities counted as exclusionary.
