  • Online Appendix to “Can Informed Public Deliberation Overcome Clientelism? Experimental Evidence from Benin”
    Online Appendix to “Can Informed Public Deliberation Overcome Clientelism? Experimental Evidence from Benin” by Thomas Fujiwara and Leonard Wantchekon 1. List of Sample Villages Table A1 provides a list of sample villages, with their experimental and dominant can- didates. 2. Results by Commune/Stratum Table A2.1-A2.3 presents the results by individual commune/stratum. 3. Survey Questions and the Clientelism Index Table A3.1 provides the estimates for each individual component of the clientelism index, while Table A3.2 details the questions used in the index. 4. Treatment Effects on Candidate Vote Shares Table A4 provides the treatment effect on each individual candidate vote share. 5. Estimates Excluding Communes where Yayi is the EC Table A5 reports results from estimations that drop the six communes where Yayi is the EC. Panel A provides estimates analogous from those of Table 2, while Panels B and C report estimates that are similar to those of Table 3. The point estimates are remarkably similar to the original ones, even though half the sample has been dropped (which explains why some have a slight reduction in significance). 1 6. Estimates Including the Commune of Toffo Due to missing survey data, all the estimates presented in the main paper exclude the commune of Toffo, the only one where Amoussou is the EC. However, electoral data for this commune is available. This allows us to re-estimate the electoral data-based treatment effects including the commune. Table A6.1 re-estimates the results presented on Panel B of Table 2. The qualitative results remain the same.

  • Indirect Exposure to Colonial Education and Intergenerational
    The Strength of Weak Ties: Indirect Exposure to Colonial Education and Intergenerational Mobility in Benin ⇤ Leonard Wantchekon† April 12, 2019 Abstract We use historical micro-level data from the first regional schools in colonial Benin to esti- mate the e↵ect of education on social mobility over three generations. Since school location and student cohorts were selected quasi-randomly, the e↵ect of education can be estimated by comparing the treated to the untreated living in the same village as well as those from villages with no school (Wantchekon et al. [2015]). We find positive treatment e↵ects of education on social mobility across three generations. Surprisingly, the e↵ect is strongest for descendants of grandparents who were exposed to education only through their social networks (the untreated living in villages with a school). We interpret this result as evidence of “the strength of weak ties” (Grannoveter [1977]). Finally, exploring the underlying mechanism of our results, we find that mobility from the first to the second generation is driven by parental aspiration, which is sustained by the risk attitudes and mobility of the third generation. ⇤This paper was prepared for the NYU Development Research Institute success project.

I would also like to thank the research team of Institute for Empirical Research in Political Economy (IERPE) in Benin, especially Romuald Anago, Kassim Assouma, Benjamin Dji↵a, Andre Gueguehoun, and Clement Litchegbe, for leading the data collection.

Evénements clés Le PDNA Team a organisé un atelier de consolidation et de finalisation des rapports sectoriels Le Gouvernement de la République d’Israël a fait don d’un lot de médicaments aux sinistrés des inondations La révision des fiches de projets du EHAP a démarré dans tous les clusters L’Organisation Ouest Africaine de la Santé à fait don d’un chèque de 25 millions de Francs CFA pour venir en aide aux sinistrés des inondations au Bénin L’ONG béninoise ALCRER a fait don de 500.000 F CFA pour venir en aide aux sinistrés des inondations 4 nouveaux cas de choléra ont été détectés à Cotonou II. Contexte Les eaux se retirent de plus en plus et les populations sinistrés manifestent de moins en moins le besoin d’installation sur les sites de déplacés. Ceux qui retournent dans leurs maisons expriment des besoins de tentes individuelles à installer près de leurs habitations ; une demande appuyée par les autorités locales. La veille sanitaire post inondation se poursuit, mais elle est handicapée par la grève du personnel de santé et les lots de médicaments pré positionnés par le cluster Santé n’arrivent pas à atteindre les bénéficiaires. Des brigades sanitaires sont provisoirement mises en place pour faire face à cette situation. La révision des projets de l’EHAP est en cours dans les 8 clusters et le Post Disaster Needs Assessment Team est en train de finaliser les rapports sectoriels des missions d’évaluation sur le terrain dans le cadre de l’élaboration du plan de relèvement.
