CEIS-Tor Vergata is pleased to inform you that, on Friday May 8th, 2015 at 12.00 pm, Simone Schüller (IRVAPP) will present a paper on “The Effects of 9/11 on Attitudes Toward Immigration and the Moderating Role of Education”
ABSTRACT
The 9/11 attacks have induced an increase in anti-immigrant sentiments, also beyond US borders. Using longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel and exploiting exogenous variation in interview timing, I find that 9/11 caused a shift of around 40 percent of one within standard deviation to more negative attitudes toward immigration and a considerable decrease in concerns over xenophobic hostility among the German population. The quasi-experiment 9/11 provides evidence on the relevance of non-economic factors in attitude formation and the role of education in moderating the shock. Additional analysis suggests persistence of these effects in the years after the attacks.
The Seminar will be held at the Faculty of Economics, University of Rome "Tor Vergata", B-building, 1° floor, room B
