DESCRIPTION:*Can collective action drive transformations in social roles an
 d attitudes? I study the effect of local exposure to women’s suffrage pr
 otests in the early 20th century in the US on different indicators of gend
 er roles. Enfranchisement was anticipated to enhance women’s awareness\,
  leading to a critical reevaluation of more traditional family structures\,
  according to suffrage movement leaders. This study investigates whether r
 aising awareness about one’s rights\, alongside obtaining them\, can fos
 ter social transformations. I study cross-county marches organized betwee
 n 1912 and 1914 by the suffragists\, a group of women activists fighting f
 or women’s suffrage. I build a novel historical database using local new
 spaper archives to map the itinerary of the marches. Using individual-leve
 l data from US censuses (1880-1930)\, I compare individual outcomes in tow
 ns along the suffragists’ paths with those outside\, both before and afte
 r the marches\, within each county. Results suggest that exposure to suffr
 agist demonstrations led to (i) an increase in the likelihood of reporting
  being gainfully employed for women and to a decrease in being reported as
  housekeepers\, (ii) a decrease in both marriage and fertility rates. Addi
 tionally\, preliminary evidence from newspaper coverage suggests that women
  were likely exposed to suffragist ideas beyond the marches due to the rel
 ative growing interest in the topic in treated towns in the subsequent yea
 rs.**This paper explores the relationship between climate uncertainty in 
 agrarian economies where formal insurance markets are missing or incomplet
 e and the demand for “spiritual insurance”. We look into the spatial
  variation of religious participation in Nigeria and whether it can be ex
 plained using the underlying climate risk (exposure to climate change) as w
 ell as short-term weather shocks. We exploit two main datasets: the World 
 Bank's General Household Panel Survey in Nigeria which includes data on re
 ligion\, and the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index which
  estimates drought probability and severity. We also use the more finely g
 ridded rainfall data from the Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation 
 with Station data (CHIRPS) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)�
 ��s Agro-Ecological Zones (AEZ) modelling framework to estimate spatial and
  time variations in onset rainy season. This work contributes to the recent
  literature using quasi-exogenous methods and spatial econometrics to study
  religion. \\n\\nContact: Lucie Giorgi : lucie.giorgi[at]univ-amu.frRicard
