Is college education associated with left-leaning economic views? Evidence from Latin America
Using data from the 2017 Latinobarometer survey, we find that attending college in Latin America is associated with economic views situated to the left of the ideological spectrum in general/abstract terms and as they pertain to domestic economic issues. The exact opposite is true, however, regarding economic views that pertain to international trade issues. We reach our results using logit and ordered logit regressions controlling for a rich set…
Political ideology mismatch as a determinant of the intention to migrate: Evidence from Latin America
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess whether a difference or mismatch between individual political ideology and predominant political views in society is a significant determinant of the intention to migrate in Latin American countries. Design/methodology/approach The authors use data from the 2018 Latinobarómetro Survey and conduct logit regressions using intention to migrate as the dependent variable and political ideology mismatch as…
Economic beliefs and perceptions of mixed-gender teams
Is there an association between economic beliefs and perceptions of the efficacy of mixed-gender teams? We approach this question for Latin America using the 2018 Latinobarometer survey. One of the questions in the survey asks respondents if they believe mixed-gender teams in the workplace produce better, worse, or equal results than teams formed exclusively by men. A different question in the same survey asks respondents about their attitudes to…
Trust and beliefs about robots in Latin America
Purpose The goal of this paper is to study the factors that determine individuals' beliefs about robots in Latin America. The authors highlight the role of interpersonal trust in shaping these beliefs. Design/methodology/approach The authors use data from 2018 Latinobarómetro survey in 18 Latin American countries. The analysis includes an empirical strategy that reduces overt bias and weighs hidden bias. Findings Robots are not generally supporte…
Perception of immigrants in Latin America
What factors are linked to holding a positive perception of immigrants in Latin America? This paper studies the presence of an empathy effect by which individuals who are themselves willing to migrate hold a more positive perception of immigrants relative to those who are not willing to migrate. Using a recent representative survey, this study finds that there is only weak evidence in favour of that effect. There is evidence, however, of a condit…
You play the way you live: Aggressive soccer play and social capital
Could aggressive soccer play reflect generalized aggressive behaviour in society? In particular, could aggressive soccer play be associated with low levels of social capital? I examine these questions using the average number of red and yellow cards per game during the 2019/2020 season as an indicator of aggressive soccer play in 86 different professional leagues. I capture social capital using six different indicators measuring rule of law and g…

Institutions of economic freedom and generalized trust: Evidence from the Eurobarometer surveys
We investigate the correlation between institutions of economic freedom and generalized trust. The data we use are derived from the Eurobarometer surveys and measure how trustworthy nationals of a particular country are in the eyes of nationals of other countries. By using these data we avoid the presence of double causality between institutions of economic freedom and generalized trust that has been recognized as a major challenge in the literat…
