A comparison might be a country with overpopulation. If you kill x% of the population and enact some birth control plan, then 100 years later you might end up with a "net positive" discounting the people that were killed and the emotional effects of their loved ones.
Are there countries in Africa that weren't colonized, or some islands that weren't, that we could compare to ones that were and make some inferences?

Alternatively, you could compare countries that had "more" or "less" colonialist control/influence, and see if there is any correlation to their current performance. Though, as with all social-sciency it's very difficult to isolate the variables to get deep insight into possible causal links.
