摘要

我们研究了民族国家行为(如战争、占领和镇压)的负面历史影响如何影响地区认同的形成。法国阿尔萨斯和洛林地区的准外生划分允许我们在市政层面实施地理回归不连续设计。通过对陈述和显示的偏好的测量，我们发现，从短期、中期和长期来看，与民族国家的负面经历与更强的区域认同有关。这与更倾向于区域性决策有关。建立区域组织似乎是维护和加强区域认同的关键机制。(jel h77, n43, n44, n93, n94, z13)

The Origins of Common Identity: Evidence from Alsace-Lorraine

We study how more negative historical exposure to the actions of nation-states—like war, occupation, and repression—affects the formation of regional identity. The quasi-exogenous division of the French regions Alsace and Lorraine allows us to implement a geographical regression discontinuity design at the municipal level. Using measures of stated and revealed preferences, we find that more negative experiences with nation-states are associated with a stronger regional identity in the short, medium, and long run. This is linked to preferences for more regional decision-making. Establishing regional organizations seems to be a key mechanism to maintaining and strengthening regional identity.
