Could perceived increases in apex corruption be weakening democracy? We first present event study analyses of more than 170 high-profile corruption scandals involving some of the most prominent politicians in 17 Latin American countries. We show that in the aftermath of such apex corruption scandals, support for democracy falls by 0.07\ud835\udc60\ud835\udc51, support for authoritarianism rises by 11% and violent protests rise by 70%. We complement these results with a field experiment in Mexico. Randomized exposure to footage of apex corruption scandals, particularly implicating politicians known for their anticorruption platforms, decreases individuals\u2019 support for democracy by 0.15\ud835\udc60\ud835\udc51, willingness to trust politicians and neighbors in incentivized games by 18% and 11%, volunteering as election observers by 45%, and actual voter turnout by about 5\ud835\udc5d\ud835\udc5d, while raising stealing from local mayors by 4%. The undermining of democratic values produces latent effects that even cumulate four months later. Seeking solutions, priming national identity proved an unsuccessful antidote, but providing exposure to national stock index funds holds some promise.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"129155-21862180@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/129155", "building_id":"1000154", "building_name":"Lorch Hall", "campus_maps_id":"88", "room":"201", "location_name":"Lorch Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Development","Economics","seminar"], "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/econ", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Economics", "group_id":"3302", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/econ" }, { "group_name":"Economic Development Seminar", "group_id":"3557", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Economics Seminars", "group_id":"3566", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Political Economy Workshop (PEW)", "group_id":"3682", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/11\/event_129155_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/11\/event_129155_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/11\/event_129155_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/11\/event_129155_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/11\/event_129155_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/11\/event_129155_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/11\/event_129155_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/11\/event_129155_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/11\/event_129155_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/11\/event_129155_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/11\/event_129155_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/11\/event_129155_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/11\/event_129155_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/11\/event_129155_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/11\/event_129155_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/11\/event_129155_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21862180 } , "120272-21845113": { "datetime_modified":"20241114T114446", "datetime_start":"20241121T160000", "datetime_end":"20241121T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-11-21", "date_end":"2024-11-21", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Differential Equations Seminar: Stationary and slowly traveling solutions to the free boundary Navier-Stokes equations", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Differential Equations Seminar: Stationary and slowly traveling solutions to the free boundary Navier-Stokes equations: Ian Tice (Carnegie Mellon U.)", "event_subtitle":"Ian Tice (Carnegie Mellon U.)", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"The stationary problem for the free boundary incompressible Navier-Stokes equations lies at the confluence of two distinct lines of inquiry in fluid mechanics. The first views the dynamic problem as an initial value problem. In this context, the stationary problem arises naturally as a special type of global-in-time solution with stationary sources of force and stress. One then expects solutions to the stationary problem to play an essential role in the study of long-time asymptotics or attractors for the dynamic problem. The second line of inquiry, which dates back essentially to the beginning of mathematical fluid mechanics, concerns the search for traveling wave solutions. In this context, a huge literature exists for the corresponding inviscid problem, but progress on the viscous problem was initiated much more recently in the work of the speaker and co-authors. For technical reasons, these results were only able to produce traveling solutions with nontrivial wave speed. In this talk we will discuss the well-posedness theory for the stationary problem and show that the solutions thus obtained lie along a one-parameter family of slowly traveling wave solutions. This is joint work with Noah Stevenson.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"120272-21845113@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/120272", "building_id":"1000166", "building_name":"East Hall", "campus_maps_id":"53", "room":"4088", "location_name":"East Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Mathematics"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Differential Equations Seminar - Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"4888", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"3791", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21845113 } }
