SUMMARY:Disinformation\, Political Extremism and the Costs – An econometric analysis within the FERMI project
DESCRIPTION:The number of politically motivated crimes (politisch motivierte Kriminalität\, PMK) in Germany is on the rise. The German Ministry of the Interior’s recently presented figures point towards a sharp increase across the entire spectrum of the phenomenon. But is there a link between politically motivated crime and disinformation? And if so\, what are the effects? The FERMI* project investigates the connection between disinformation and political extremism by analysing the offline risks of disinformation. As part of this project\, BIGS has analysed the economic consequences of political extremism in several European countries. \nIn our next PizzaSeminar\, following an introduction to the FERMI platform developed within the project given by Dr. Tobias Mattes\, Dr. Adelaide Baronchelli will present the methodology and the results of the econometric analysis. The discussion focuses on how extremism—particularly in the form of extremist crimes—can be measured and integrated into a within country analysis. Using Germany and Spain as reference cases\, the seminar outlines the approach adopted within the FERMI project to construct a comparative dataset and explore how political extremism may influence economic welfare. \nThis PizzaSeminar will take place in English. Participation is possible both in person in Berlin Friedrichstraße and online.

Within the project\, BIGS focuses on a methodology to make the costs associated with disinformation and its most visible effects in the form of extremism\, more transparent and predictable. \n  \nAbout the speakers:\nDr. Adelaide Baronchelli is Senior Research Fellow at BIGS\, where she works mainly on the Horizon Europe projects FERMI and CEDAR. Prior to this\, she has been an assistant professor at the Department of Economics and Statistics at the University of Turin and was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Verona. She obtained an MSc in Economics from the University of Essex and a Ph.D. in Institutions and Policies from the Catholic University of Milan. \n  \n  \nDr. Tobias Mattes is an experienced Police Officer and Researcher. He has been a Bavarian State Police (BSP) Officer since 1999. Between 2007 and 2009 he completed his studies at the University of Applied Sciences for Legal Administration and Legal Affairs Bavaria (Department Police Management and Policing) (BayHfoeD). Later he studied at the German Police University (DHPol)\, completing the courses in 2018 with a focus on Cybercrime\, Radicalization and Extremism. As scientific researcher he is participating and coordinating several Horizon Europe and ISF projects and is member of the Security Advisory Board of the EU projects FERMI\, Perivallion and  RESONANT. Since 2019 he holds the rank of Chief-Superintendent in the BSP and leads a criminal police department. Further he holds a PhD in the field of Radicalisation and Counterterrorism.
