Spark Talk: The Trump Election and Attitudes toward the United States in Latin America by Dr. Giancarlo Visconti & Dr. Regina Bateson (Mar 11, 2022)


Description: Did the election of Donald Trump have an immediate effect on trust in the US government in Latin America? Leveraging the timing of the field implementation of the 2016 wave of the AmericasBarometer in five Latin American countries, we estimate the effect of the 2016 presidential election on respondents’ attitudes using a regression discontinuity design in time. We find that the election of Trump substantively decreased respondents’ trust in the US government.
