Violent Conflict and Behavior: a Field Experiment in Burundi

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact R Wilebore .

We use a series of field experiments in rural Burundi to examine the impact of exposure to conflict on social-, risk- and time preferences. We find that conflict affects behavior: individuals exposed to violence display more altruistic behavior towards their neighbors, are more risk seeking, and have higher discount rates. Large adverse shocks can thus alter savings and investments decisions, and potentially have long-run consequences – even if the shocks themselves are temporary.

This talk is part of the Plant Sciences Ecology meetings series.
