B08
Competition between States and the Historical Roots of Identity
Summary

Project summary

Project B08 considers preferences in the (very) long run. In this funding period, we will delve into new data sources, analyze how individual and social identities translate into policy preferences, and explore how they interact with external shocks such as changes in cross-border connectivity, intensified global competition, or environmental disasters. Applications include studies on labor force participation, voting, and vaccine hesitancy.
