【タイトル】
「Religious Fractionalization and Crimes in Disaster-Affected Communities」
【要旨】
This study uses a unique survey data collected in Bangladesh to uncover the impact of religious fractionalization on post-disaster crime. The identification strategy relies on the stable religious composition in the study area. Pre-disaster socio-economic status of households is also uncorrelated with the religious fractionalization and severity of disaster damage, after controlling for observed characteristics. It shows that following a natural disaster, individuals in fractionalized communities are more likely to be victims of crime than those in non-fractionalized communities. This is robust to the use of alternative dataset at the district level. Furthermore, the effect of religious fractionalization is larger for poor households. This study also demonstrates empirical support for the idea that this is caused by the misallocation of disaster reliefs in the fractionalized communities. However, the high income inequality or inefficient risk sharing is not related with the
post-disaster crime.
