Outgroup homogeneity is the inclination for individuals to see ingroup individuals as more differing than outgroup individuals. The Outgroup Homogeneity Effect is the propensity to see an outgroup as homogenous, or as "all the same," while the ingroup is viewed as more heterogeneous or differed.
We show that municipalities that are exogenously exposed to the Drug War experience a 40% decrease in export growth on the intensive margin. Large exporters suffer larger effects, along with exports of more complex, capital intensive, and skill intensive products. Finally, using firm level data, we provide evidence consistent with violence increasing marginal exporting costs.
