Research 
Hoeffler researches the political economy of developing countries, in particular the causes and consequences of violence. In her work with Paul Collier, she argues, that the drivers of civil war are not so much political and religious grievances, but economic opportunities (greed and grievance approach). She has also worked on democracy in countries whose primary economic driver is oil. Selected publications
