摘要

投票率在多大程度上受种族不平等的影响？我们将民族语言地图与夜光卫星图像相结合，在 24 个非洲国家的次国家地区构建了一个民族不平等数据集。利用选区级选举档案中的选举数据，我们发现种族不平等与投票率呈负相关。即使在控制了内生性和地理特征后，这种关系仍然成立。我们还构建了国家以下各级选举冲突的数据集。我们发现，种族不平等的增加与冲突的增加相关，而冲突的增加会降低投票率。

Estimating the relationship between ethnic inequality, conflict and voter turnout in Africa using geocoded data

To what extent is voter turnout influenced by ethnic inequality? We combine ethnolinguistic maps on sub-national locations of ethnic groups with night-time light satellite images to construct a dataset of ethnic inequality across sub-national locations in 24 African countries. Using election data from the constituency-level elections archive, we show that ethnic inequality is negatively associated with voter turnout. This relationship holds even after we control for endogeneity and geographic characteristics. We also construct a dataset of election conflict across the sub-national areas. We find that an increase in ethnic inequality is associated with an increase in conflict, which reduces voter turnout.

期刊介绍： World Development is a multi-disciplinary monthly journal of development studies. It seeks to explore ways of improving standards of living, and the human condition generally, by examining potential solutions to problems such as: poverty, unemployment, malnutrition, disease, lack of shelter, environmental degradation, inadequate scientific and technological resources, trade and payments imbalances, international debt, gender and ethnic discrimination, militarism and civil conflict, and lack of popular participation in economic and political life. Contributions offer constructive ideas and analysis, and highlight the lessons to be learned from the experiences of different nations, societies, and economies.
