Kommentar
Can events from the past influence political attitudes and behavior in the present? In this
course, we will study the consequences of colonialism, slavery, modes of inheritance and war on
outcomes such as voting, trust and gender norms. We will look at these questions from an
empirical, comparative perspective. We read articles and books dealing with specific
instances historical legacies from a variety of societies, including Australia, India, Russia, and
Germany. We will also study the main channels of transmission over time: institutions and
norms. Apart from addressing substantial questions, we will explore the methods used to
study historical legacies. How can we measure such legacies, and how can we be sure that
what we are observing was caused by norms and institutions transmitted from the past, and
not some other factor? To address this question, part of the seminar will be reserved for
studying methods used to establish causality. Schließen
