Palestrante: Francisco Cribari Neto (EST-UFPE) Título: Intelligence, religiosity and homosexuality non-acceptance: empirical evidence (Paper coauthored with Tatiene Souza) Resumo: Our main goal in this paper is to explain the proportion of homosexuality non-acceptance in different nations. To that end, we consider the beta regression model proposed by Ferrari and Cribari-Neto (2004). We use several conditioning variables, such as average intelligence, per capita income, an indicator as to whether the country is Muslim, an income inequality index and a religious diversity index. We estimate the impacts of intelligence and proportion of religious disbelievers on the prevalence of homosexuality non-acceptance. Such impacts are statistically significant and highly negative, i.e., higher intelligence levels and higher proportion of disbelievers are associated with lower prevalence of homosexuality non-acceptance. Bootstrap confidence intervals are also computed DATA: 02/07/2015 (quinta-feira) HORÁRIO: 14:30 h LOCAL: Sala Multiuso EST (Prédio CIC/EST) <div> </div> </body> </html>
