Состоялось очередное заседание общемосковского научного семинара "Политическая экономика"

Тема доклада: " Genetic Diversity and Civil Conflict "
Докладчик: Eren Arbatli  (HSE)

This research empirically demonstrates that the emergence and prevalence of civil conflict in the modern era reflect the long shadow of prehistory. Exploiting variations across national populations, it establishes that genetic diversity, as determined predominantly tens of thousands of years ago, has contributed significantly to the incidence and onset of both ethnic and overall civil conflicts in the 20th century, accounting for a large set of geographical and institutional correlates of civil conflict. This finding arguably reflects the adverse effect of genetic diversity on interpersonal trust and cooperation, the potential impact of diversity on income inequality, the potential association between diversity and divergence in preferences for public goods and redistributive policies, and the contribution of genetic diversity to the degree of fractionalization and polarization across ethnic and linguistic groups in the population.
