Abstract

The Student Movement (the Movement henceforth) is one of the most important cultural movement of the second part of the 1900s. We explore the long-run effect of early-life exposure to the Movement on political preferences. Identification is based on the “impressionable years” hypothesis. We detect a small but significant positive effect of right-wing political preferences, differently from ex ante naïve expectations. No impact is detected on polarization.
