Ethno‐Regional Favouritism in Sub‐Saharan Africa
研究区分了非洲政治中的民族偏袒和区域偏袒，利用15国19000多名受访者的调查数据，发现两者独立影响人们对政府公平性的感知。
Summary Studies of political favouritism in Africa often treat ethnic and regional favouritism as interchangeable concepts. The present paper distinguishes between the two and investigates their relative influence in Sub‐Saharan Africa. Focusing on whether individuals perceive their ethnic group to be unfairly treated by government, we assess the importance of being a co‐ethnic of the country president, of living in the president's region of origin and of the regional share of president co‐ethnics. Empirical findings drawing on detailed individual level survey data covering more than 19 000 respondents across 15 African countries suggest that ethnic and regional favouritism are not the same, but rather have independent effects.
