| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This researh examines the determinants of individual trade policy preferences using individual-level survey data and results of the dictator game from rural Ethiopia. We find that low altruism are associated with protectionist stance. In addition, openness measured by the difference between money allocated to a person from the same village and a person outside the village shows that those whose difference between money allocated to outsiders and insiders is big (i.e. hostile to people outside the social network) are likely to support import restrictions. However, such tendency has not appeared for export liberalization.
