SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Mathias THOENIG (Université de Lausanne) "The Gravity of Violence"
DESCRIPTION:The Macro Seminar:\nTime: 12:15 pm – 13:30 pm\nDate: 15th of May 2023 \nRoom 3001 \nMathias THOENIG (Université de Lausanne) “The Gravity of Violence” \nAbstract : This paper presents a generic approach for estimating and simulating a quantitative model of trade and violence. In this new theoretical and empirical framework\, suited for disciplining sub-national and international data\, we first model the general equilibrium interactions between the economic and\nfighting margins in a micro-founded setup. We then show how the structural parameters can be recovered from the data in a simple and transparent way: A central element of the procedure consists in estimating a theory-consistent gravity equation of violence. Looking at sub-Saharan Africa over the period\n1997 to 2022\, we test the key predictions of the model and uncover new facts related to spatial frictions and conflicts. Finally\, the model is used to quantify counterfactual policy interventions that aim at promoting development in weakly institutionalized contexts where insecurity is pervasive. \n  \nSponsors:\nAlessandro RIBONI (CREST) \n
