| summary | In this talk, I will introduce the idea of the “reputational poverty trap.” I will motivate this with an analytical and then agent-based model, before introducing the plans for a cross-cultural study aimed at further exploring these dynamics. With a team including ethnographers, an experimental psychologist, and a modeller, we will examine how people’s identities and social position influence how they are perceived by others, and so how they consequently choose to act in the world. A key element of the project will be combining social network data with experimental games played with known others, where we can manipulate the social exposure of participants’ actions. The project will centre on three communities in South Asia, complemented by comparative experimental work in a number of other communities arrayed around the globe, all with the aim of exploring if, and if so how, these dynamics result in a “reputational poverty trap” that reinforces social and economic inequality. As the project is just getting underway, I am eager to get the insights of this group, so will introduce the motivation for the project and its current design. |
