These article is an invitation to include a gender perspective into the studies of conflict in Mexico.

My findings show that women are also likely to be victims of various crimes and policymakers should improve prevention mechanisms for gender-based violence.

End of 🧵

🧵 One of the main takeaways is that young women are more at risk than young men.

Women between the ages of 12 to 18 are going missing more often than their male counterpart.

My findings suggest that a positive association between missing women and cartel entry.

🧵 Female victims of homicides represents about 10% of all victims and differ in number from the feminicides, as these are two different categories.

The entry of the first cartel is associated with more female victims of homicides but not with more victims of feminicide.

🧵 Homicides increase after the entry of the first cartel in a municipality, for both male and female victims.

But, female victims are concentrated in certain states.

🧵 I use three publicly available datasets that include the gender of the victims of homicides, feminicides and disappearances.

Using an event study design I show differential effects by type of crime and by gender.

I had an amazing time at Recife! The best part was to see again many good friends and colleagues + nice feedback on my paper

3 years ago, I had the opportunity to moderate an amazing panel on the new routes of cocaine trafficking at the the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Center at the University of Maryland

Hint: Instead of going North, traffickers are first going South 🤯

Happy to see this paper finally out in #FirstView!

We underscore the importance of the timing, tone, and content of the information.

While it does not change the behavior of recurrent consumers, it may for new ones!

But, we find that regular buyers of avocados are not affected by the exposure to information...negative or positive!
🧵(6/n)

Yet, not all the news headline give the same result. It depends on the topic of the negative news headline.

Our respondents reacted more with the news relating avocados with criminal groups than with the environmental damages.
🧵(5/n)

We find that positive news increase the WTP; and negative, decreases it.

However! The driving force is the latest piece of news they receive. A positive information followed by a negative decreases the WTP, and a negative followed by a positive increases the WTP.
🧵(4/n)

Some participants were presented with 1 news headline and some with 2 in total. This created 9 possible treatment arms in our design, while it allows us to compare both between- and within-subjects change in their willingness to pay (WTP).
🧵(3/n)

We presented 1 of 3 possible news headline to some participants and none to others, and we asked them whether they were willing to pay $ X dollars for a bag of 4 avocados.

After their answer, we presented a 2nd different headline and asked again using the same price.

🆕 Working Paper

In this paper with Aldo Gutierrez, we asked how exposure to multiple, sometimes conflicting sources of information change the willingness to pay for a bag of #avocados.
