Seminar: Resem Makan (Case Western Reserve University)

Part of the Joint Seminars in Development Economics Series, Hosted by Alan Griffith and Rachel Heath Title: Forced Modernization and its Discontents: Policy and Culture in Laos Abstract: This paper evaluates a resettlement policy in rural Laos intended to modernize livelihoods and reduce poverty among ethnic groups traditionally practicing swidden agriculture. By regrouping houses away from mountain slopes and into nearby valleys, the policy aimed to steer the societies toward wet-rice cultivation, considered more technologically advanced and environmentally sustainable. Using the staggered timing of treatment, I find that the policy reduces village swidden plots by 30–40% five to ten years post-resettlement. However, ethnographic studies reveal how swidden practices are deeply interwoven with kinship ties and ethnic identities, and resistance to new methods reflects more than just unsuitable terrain. Using a triple-difference strategy, comparing swidden and wet-rice societies across regions with varying… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Savery Hall (SAV). Campus room: SAV 410.

Seminar: Rafael Dix-Carneiro (Duke)

Part of the Macroeconomics and International Economics Seminars Series, Hosted by Brian Greaney Title: Understanding Migration Responses to Local Shocks Authors: Kirill Borusyak, Rafael Dix-Carneiro, and Brian K. Kovak Abstract: We examine how to interpret estimates from a commonly used migration regression relatingchanges in local population to exogenous local labor demand shocks. Using a simple model oflocal labor markets with mobility costs, we find that most conclusions drawn from migrationregression estimates are likely to be substantially misleading. Intuitively, the conventional mi-gration regression is misspecified due to the bilateral nature of location choices. Workers choosewhere to live based not only on the shock to their current location, but also on the shocks topotential alternative locations, which are omitted from the regression. Analytical results andsimulations based on Brazilian data show that conventional migration regression estimates areinaccurate for the local population effects of… Event interval: Single day event.
