SUMMARY:ROSES Seminar by Michael Jetter (University of Western Australia)
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 2:30pm UK time\, 9:30am Eastern United States Time\, 3:30pm Central European Time\, and 9:30pm in Perth\, Australia\, as we meet on Teams for the 139th Reading Online Sport Economics Seminar. \nTitle: “Peacefully Demobilizing Rebels: Identity\, Emotional Cues\, and the FARC” \nAbstract: In the early 2000s\, the Colombian government aired messages during games of the national football team\, urging FARC rebels to demobilize. We first study the strategy’s effectiveness\, leveraging game dates\, kick-off times\, and spatial-temporal variation in rain-induced signal strength in a municipality-day-level panel spanning 2003-2016. Over 1\,000 rebels demobilized because of family-themed (but not national-unity-themed) messages\, received during unexpected losses (i.e.\, negative emotional cues). We then model a rebel’s demobilization decision\, combining identity salience with their emotional state. Finally\, we corroborate the model’s predictions examining family- versus non-family-specific holidays and local climatic anomalies.
