Methodology
In this analysis, I argue that there is a relationship between global food price shocks and urban population as well as global food price shocks and net importing countries. In order to test this relationship, I will use a Negative Binomial Model because my dependent variable is a count variable of events per country per year over time. To test this relationship, I cannot use ordinary least square (OLS) because using an OLS model with dependent variable of event count data may lead to inaccurate and inefficient estimates (Long 1997).
