OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
How do group identity concerns shape voters’ preferences around climate policy? I seek to answer this question in the context of India, building on insights generated by existing literature on the political economy of redistribution. I argue that emphasising group identity considerations as they relate to climate change can make middle-class voters more willing to absorb personal costs and support policies seemingly against their material self-interest. I use a survey experiment to test the effects of various identity frames (including national, regional, and linguistic) on participants’ (i) personal willingness to bear particular costs and (ii) support for targeted compensatory transfers.
