Why are the poor susceptible to clientelism, and what factors shield them from the influence of vote buying?
We explore the role of both formal and informal social networks in shaping the likelihood of being targeted with private inducements. We argue that when the poor lack access to formal...
Ruth Tacneng, Klarizze Anne Puzon - Review of Behavioral Economics, 2021
What is the effect of gender priming on solidarity behavior? We explore a two-player solidarity game where players can insure each other against risk of losses.
We test this experimentally in a developing country setting, the Philippines. We consider a treatment that involves reminding...

Imelda Revilla Molina, Katelyn Castillo, Klarizze Anne Martin Puzon - UNU-WIDER, 2021 - Helsinki, Finland
This paper presents a framed field experiment on ecological altruism in Mindoro, Philippines. Behavioural differences between ethnic groups in Mindoro—the Tagalogs and the Mangyans—were investigated. We designed a two-part donation task (i.e. dictator game) where the recipient of the...

What is the effect of gender priming on solidarity behaviour?
We explore a two-player solidarity game where players can insure each other against the risk of losses. In the utility function, priming is represented as the ‘change in weight’ given to the other player’s payoff...
Carla Canelas, Rachel M. Gisselquist - Social Indicators Research, 2019
Inequality and social exclusion receive considerable contemporary policy attention. In the field of international development, inequality—both vertical (between individuals and households) and horizontal (between groups)—is a core concern in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development...
Omar McDoom - Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, 2019
A key debate in studies of native-migrant relations relates to the barriers to integration created by ethno-cultural differences and socio-economic disadvantage. How do changes in socio-economic inequality between ethnic groups affect interethnic ties in a divided society?
I investigate this...
How do changes in socio-economic inequality between ethnic groups affect interethnic ties in a divided society? I analyse the evolution of cross-ethnic marriages in a society affected by violence along ethnic boundaries and make three principal findings.
First, as inequality between ethnic...

This paper contributes to the scant body of literature on inequalities among and within ethnic groups in the Philippines by examining both the vertical and horizontal measures in terms of opportunities in accessing basic services such as education, electricity, safe water, and sanitation. The...
Although several theories of interethnic conflict emphasize ties across group boundaries as conducive to ethnic coexistence, little is known about how such ties are formed. Given their integrative potential, I examine the establishment of cross-ethnic marital ties in a deeply divided society and...
– Spatial, Temporal, and Categorical Dimensions with Evidence from Mindanao, the Philippines
Rachel M. Gisselquist, Omar McDoom - Social Indicators Research, 2016
An ever-expanding body of empirical research suggests that ethno-religious divisions adversely impact a host of normatively desirable objectives linked to the quality of life in society, implicitly representing a strong challenge to multiculturalist theory and policies. The appropriate...
– Categorical, Temporal, and Spatial Dimensions with Evidence from Mindanao, the Philippines
Rachel M. Gisselquist, Omar McDoom - UNU-WIDER, 2015 - Helsinki, Finland
A large body of recent quantitative work on the ‘diversity detriment’ hypothesis finds that ethno-religious diversity is linked with a host of societal ills, implying in turn a strong challenge to multiculturalist theory and policies. Given the stakes, the appropriate...
– How Targeting Has Left out the Poor in Peripheral Cities in the Philippines
Michael P. Canares - UNU-WIDER, 2010 - Helsinki, Finland
Constrained by resource limitations and challenged by the increasing incidence of poverty in the country, the Philippine government embarked on an anti-poverty programme that sought to identify where the poorest people were, what were their specific needs, and how government and other stakeholders...
