“…The prompt was identical in all surveys, except for a short phrase qualifying President Yayi with one key background characteristic. This phrase was randomly assigned, following a block-randomization design (Horiuchi et al, 2007;Imai et al, 2008). A natural blocking category in estimating the effects of ethnic cueing on respondent support in Benin is ethnicity itself.…”

Can African politicians play the ethnic card? Ethnicity matters for a host of outcomes in Africa, but debate remains about the extent to which it motivates the African voter. In experimental settings, we know that ethnicity shapes political support for hypothetical candidates. This paper offers an experimental test of the extent to which ethnicity shapes political support for actual, real-world politicians. Relying on Benin’s mixed-ethnicity President, this paper proposes a survey experiment that measures the independent effect of coethnic cues in boosting support across both coethnic groups. The results reveal that coethnic cues work: the same political actor can draw support from two different ethnic groups based solely on subtle ethnic cues.

“…Throughout the remainder of this article, we assume the absence of missing data as well as perfect compliance with treatment assignment. The violation of these assumptions typically leads to more complications in identification and estimation of causal mechanisms (see, Horiuchi, Imai, and Taniguchi 2007).…”

“…17 The main advantage of using mail is that it allowed us to expand the sample to all of Norway's 428 municipalities instead of just a small subset of municipalities. The disadvantage is that this creates two well-known problems in conducting survey experiments: nonresponse and noncompliance (Horiuchi et al, 2007). Some may choose not to respond or not to answer all the questions asked, and others may not follow instructions and thereby contaminate the treatment.…”
