¿La identidad en la Provisión de Bienes Públicos, o Cómo es Posible Hacer que Muchos Quieran Contribuir¿
Descripció:
Medardo Restrepo Patiño (PhD UAB)
Abstract:
Al abordar la provisión de un bien público la literatura económica tradicional tiene un elemento en común: Se sustenta en las preferencias por el bien público. Aquí se intenta desarrollar una aproximación alternativa centrada en la identidad. Desde la consideración de las normas y características sociales que definen la identidad se puede explicar la presencia del polizón(free-rider) como resultado de una identidad dada. De esta forma, regulando normas y estructuras sociales que modifiquen la identidad, se presenta una solución al problema que escapa del tradicional intento de hacer que un consumidor revele sus verdaderas preferencias por el bien público.

¿Reconciliation Narratives: the Birth of a Nation after the US Civil War¿

With Tiziano Rotesi, Alessandro Saia and Mathias Thoenig"
Abstract:
This paper studies how the spread of the Lost Cause narrative – a revisionist and racist record of the US civil war - shifted both opinions and behaviors toward reunifying the country and alienating African-Americans. Drawing on a large set of historical archival data over the 1910-1920 period, we reconstitute at a monthly level the staggered screening across 1’075 US counties of “Birth of a Nation”, a block-buster movie that popularized the narrative across large segments of the population. Our baseline results are that the movie induced (i) a semantic shift in the public discourse toward more conciliatory and less divisive words related to nation building and the perception of the former enemies; (ii) a surge in patriotism with an increased enlistment rate in US Navy during World War I; (iii) a cultural convergence between former confederate and unionist states with an increased adoption of first names traditionally associated with the former enemy’s regional identity. All these effects are detected both within former confederate and unionist states. Then, we document how the racist content of the narrative contributed to foster reconciliation. We find that the movie strengthened segregation against African-Americans in public discourses and on the labor market. Moreover, reconciliation was larger in counties where segregation increased the most. All these findings support the hypothesis put forth by David Blight (2001) that the societal cost of reunification was the perpetuated alienation of African-Americans.
