I show that civil conflict is explained by ethnic groups\u2019 cultural distance to the central government: an increase in cultural distance, proxied by linguistic distance, increases an ethnicity\u2019s propensity to fight over government power. To identify this effect, I leverage within-ethnicity variation in linguistic distance resulting from power transitions between ethnic groups over time. I provide evidence that the effects can be attributed to differences in preferences over both the allocation and the type of public goods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Cultural Distance and Ethnic Civil Conflict Date: 13\u00a0December 2023 Time: 13:00-14:00 Location: NUBS.2.13 If you would like to attend, please register using the following&#8230; <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/2023\/11\/21\/economics-research-community-seminar-dr-eleonora-guarnieri\/\" rel=\"bookmark\"><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11659,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[168,296,210],"class_list":["post-15994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-research","tag-economics","tag-event","tag-research-seminar"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11659"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15994"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15994\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15996,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15994\/revisions\/15996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
