“Overcoming empathy failures to reduce inequality: Experimental evidence from Colombia”

ABSTRACT

In recent years, Latin America and the Caribbean has faced a wave of six million migrants from Venezuela, three million of them entering Colombia. The migration crisis adds to the demographic shock stemming from internally displaced people (IDPs), former FARC combatants and paramilitaries rejoining civilian life. The urge to ensure basic welfare conditions for migrants is mediated by the challenge of integration into a society that sees them as outsiders.
Although prosocial behavior is understood as key for development, little is known about the role of prosocial behavior in the presence of conflict between groups and inequality. The effectiveness of prosocial behavior can be enhanced by three channels: ingroup member beliefs that outgroup members are willing and able to integrate, reductions in prejudice or increases in empathy. We implement a lab-in-the-field experiment with a representative sample in the main Colombian regions to measure the benefit of two 5-minute media interventions on prosocial behavior (i.e. altruism, trust, and preferences for redistribution) towards four groups: Venezuelan migrants, former combatants, internally displaced people and the very poor.
Unlike other similar edutainment interventions, ours are grounded on social psychology theory and evidence. Thus, the mechanism is not priming but actual information and learning to lower psychosocial barriers (beliefs, prejudice and empathy). We show that exposure to the media interventions humanizes FARC ex-combatants and IDPs, affecting both attitudes (e.g., support for inclusive policies) and prosocial behavior toward both groups. The robust effects of our intervention inform the policy design and thus accelerate the integration of the migrant population into their host communities.

Binary Response Dynamic Panel Data Models with Switching State Dependence

“Binary Response Dynamic Panel Data Models with Switching State Dependence”

Abstract:
This paper studies identification in binary response dynamic panel data models with switching state dependence. Departing from the standard approach of modelling binary response dynamic panel data models, where last period’s choice enters as an additional regressor, this paper allows for switching dependence where current period’s decision depends on whether this period’s choice differs from last period’s choice. This form of correlation causes inertia in individual choices and is suitable for modeling cases where individuals face some form of high switching costs”. This contemporaneous effect in choices, where the choice an individual makes in the current period directly affects current period’s latent utility, results in the model being logically inconsistent, making the model both incomplete and incoherent, which might result in lack of point-identification.
