A Crisis Database should be useful - for example as a driver of migration which I consider modelling over long timescales. But the text examples given in sec2 seem a bit vague - for example, it implies that the French revolution occurred despite an 'improved' climate, but fail to mention the important eruption of the Laki volcano in Iceland 4-6 years earlier (maybe a temporal resolution issue?) . They also give examples from Qing China, Ottoman empire, and Mexico - any opinions about the relative importance of factors mentioned?
