Governments and organizations often implement policies designed to help people in case of an undesirable event. Such policies can make the society better off, but they may also create moral hazard. We use a laboratory experiment to examine two questions. First, can discretionary decisions to provide assistance overcome the problem of moral hazard and lead to higher efficiency? Second, if so, will people prefer this discretionary procedure to the strict liability policy in which no assistance is provided? We find that the assistance is more ecient than the strict liability procedure. However, people still prefer the strict liability regime rather than assistance provision. We conduct additional treatments that show that this eect is not driven by the presence of the human discretion, nor by risk, loss or inequality aversion. This suggests that when moral hazard is a concern people have procedural preferences in favor of the strict liability regime.
政府和组织经常实施旨在帮助人们应对不良事件的政策。这些政策可以使社会变得更好,但它们也可能产生道德风险。我们用实验室实验来检验两个问题。首先,提供援助的自由裁量决定能否克服道德风险问题并带来更高的效率?第二,如果是这样,人们是否会更喜欢这种自由裁量程序,而不是不提供帮助的严格责任政策?我们发现援助比严格责任程序更有效。然而,人们仍然更喜欢严格的责任制度,而不是提供援助。我们进行了额外的治疗,表明这种效应不是由人类判断力的存在所驱动的,也不是由风险、损失或不平等厌恶所驱动的。这表明,当人们担心道德风险时,他们更倾向于严格的责任制度。

Minimum wage and tolerance for inequality 最低工资和对不平等的容忍
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.5817/wp_muni_econ_2022-07
Fazio Andrea, Reggiani Tommaso
We suggest that people advocate for equality also because they fear income losses below a given reference point. Stabilizing their baseline income can make workers more tolerant of inequality. We present evidence of this attitude in the UK by exploiting the introduction of the National Minimum Wage (NMW), which institutionally set a baseline pay reducing the risk of income losses for British workers at the bottom of the income distribution. Based on data from the British Household Panel Survey, we show that workers that benefited from the NMW program became relatively more tolerant of inequality and more likely to vote for the Conservative party.
我们建议人们提倡平等,也是因为他们担心低于一个给定参考点的收入损失。稳定他们的基本收入可以使工人更能容忍不平等。我们通过引入国家最低工资(NMW)在英国展示了这种态度的证据,该制度为收入分配底部的英国工人设定了一个基准工资,降低了收入损失的风险。根据英国家庭小组调查(British Household Panel Survey)的数据,我们发现,受益于NMW计划的工人对不平等变得相对更宽容,更有可能投票给保守党。

Narratives on migration and political polarization: How the emphasis in narratives can drive us apart 关于移民和政治两极分化的叙事:叙事中的强调如何将我们分开

Nowadays, immigration is a polarizing topic in politics. In this paper, we investigate how much this political polarization is driven by the depiction narratives made of immigrants vis-a-vis the natives. Furthermore, we look at whether polarization is rooted in private preferences over narratives or in how they are endorsed in public settings and social media. Our empirical strategy consists of a survey experiment in the 2021 German elections and a field experiment on Twitter in which we manipulate the “pinned tweets” of experimental users. To build our narratives, we manipulate either the policy position — hostile toward or accepting migration — or an emphasis on the out-group, on the in-group, or on economic reciprocity. We find that political polarization is driven both by the policy position and emphasis in narratives. On Twitter, the out-group emphasis drives supporters of different parties apart, and the corresponding hostile narrative becomes the only one going viral. In the survey, right-wing participants prefer the reciprocity emphasis more, but we still find evidence of more polarization when allowing the participants to go public.
如今,移民是一个政治上两极分化的话题。在本文中,我们调查了这种政治两极分化在多大程度上是由移民与本地人的描述叙事所驱动的。此外,我们还研究了两极分化是源于个人对叙事的偏好,还是源于它们在公共环境和社交媒体上的认可。我们的实证策略包括2021年德国大选的调查实验和Twitter的现场实验,其中我们操纵实验用户的“固定推文”。为了构建我们的叙事,我们要么操纵政策立场——对移民持敌对态度,要么接受移民——要么强调群体外、群体内或经济互惠。我们发现,政治两极分化是由政策立场和叙事重点共同驱动的。在Twitter上,对群体外的强调让不同党派的支持者分道扬镳,相应的敌对叙事成为唯一一种病毒式传播的叙事。在调查中,右翼参与者更倾向于互惠的强调,但我们仍然发现,当允许参与者公开时,两极分化的证据更多。

On the Internet you can be anyone: An experiment on strategic avatar choice in online marketplaces 在互联网上,你可以是任何人:在线市场上战略性角色选择的实验

In order to decrease social distance and increase trust on their platforms, many online marketplaces allow traders to be represented by profile pictures or avatars. In a laboratory experiment, we investigate whether the presence of seller avatars affects trading behavior in a market. We contrast markets without avatars with markets where avatars truthfully represent traders and markets where avatars can be freely changed at any time and may thus be chosen strategically. At the aggregate level, we find that the presence of truthful avatars increases the trustwothiness of sellers, but that this effect is undone when avatars can be chosen strategically. We do not detect aggregate effects on buyers´ trusting choices. Female avatars are more trusted, and correspondignly in the treatment with free avatar choice men are more likely to represent themselves with a female avatar than vice versa.
为了减少社交距离并增加对其平台的信任,许多在线市场允许交易者使用头像或头像代表。在一个实验室实验中,我们调查了卖家化身的存在是否会影响市场中的交易行为。我们将没有化身的市场与化身真实代表交易者的市场进行对比,并将化身可以随时自由改变并因此可以战略性地选择的市场进行对比。在总体水平上,我们发现真实的虚拟形象的存在增加了卖家的可信度,但当虚拟形象可以战略性地选择时,这种效果就会消失。我们没有发现对买家信任选择的总体影响。女性角色更受信任,相应地,在自由选择角色的情况下,男性更倾向于用女性角色来代表自己,而不是相反。

Social media charity campaigns and pro-social behavior. Evidence from the Ice Bucket Challenge 社交媒体慈善活动和亲社会行为。冰桶挑战的证据
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.5817/wp_muni_econ_2022-09
Fazio Andrea, Scervini Francesco, Reggiani Tommaso
Social media play a relevant role in shaping social attitudes and economic behaviors of individuals. One of the first very well-known examples of social media campaign is the Ice Bucket Challenge (IBC), a charity campaign that went viral on social networks in August 2014 aiming at collecting money for the research on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We rely on UK longitudinal data to investigate the causal impact of the Ice Bucket Challenge on pro-social behaviors. In detail, this study shows that having been exposed to the IBC increases the probability of donating money, and it increases the amount of donating money among those who donate at most £100. We also find that exposure to the IBC has increased the probability of volunteering and the level of interpersonal trust. However, all these results, but the one on the intensive margins of donations, have a short duration, limited to less than one year, supporting the prevalent consensus that social media campaigns may have only short-term effects.
社交媒体在塑造个人的社会态度和经济行为方面发挥着相关的作用。2014年8月,“冰桶挑战”(Ice Bucket Challenge,简称IBC)这一慈善活动在社交网络上迅速传播开来,旨在为肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)的研究筹集资金。我们依靠英国的纵向数据来调查冰桶挑战对亲社会行为的因果影响。详细地说,这项研究表明,接触过IBC增加了捐款的可能性,并且在捐赠最多100英镑的人中,它增加了捐款的金额。我们还发现,接触IBC增加了志愿服务的可能性和人际信任水平。然而,所有这些结果,除了密集的边缘捐赠,持续时间都很短,限制在一年以内,这支持了社会媒体运动可能只有短期效果的普遍共识。

Focal points in multiple threshold public goods games: A single-project meta-analysis 多门槛公共产品游戏的焦点:单个项目的元分析
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.5817/wp_muni_econ_2022-10
Corazzini Luca, Matteo M. Marini
This paper is a single-project meta-analysis of four experiments that first model charitable giving as individual contributions to a multiplicity of competing threshold public goods. Given the centrality of the coordination dilemma as the number of recipients increases, we pool 15,936 observations at the individual level for the purpose of identifying the most effective focal points, their mechanics, and their implications for donors’ wealth. We find that competition between public goods implies massive coordination problems that originate from fewer contributions and result in lower profits. In this setting, the most powerful coordination device turns out to be the existence of a single contribution option that stands out on its merits. We also observe an inverted U-shaped trend in the successful provision of public goods, offering evidence for experience as a focal point peculiar to the multiple-public-good framework. The effective focal points do not leverage greater contributions to solve the coordination dilemma, yet they generate higher earnings. Finally, delegation proves to be a sound device for reducing the risk of miscoordination as long as the delegate is formally obliged to pass along a high enough percentage of the transferred resources. We discuss possible implications of our findings.
本文对四个实验进行了单项目荟萃分析,首先将慈善捐赠作为个人对多种竞争门槛公共产品的贡献进行了建模。鉴于随着受助人数量的增加而出现的协调困境的中心地位,我们在个人层面汇集了15,936个观察结果,目的是确定最有效的焦点、它们的机制以及它们对捐助者财富的影响。我们发现,公共产品之间的竞争意味着大量的协调问题,这些问题源于较少的贡献和较低的利润。在这种情况下,最有力的协调手段是存在一种突出其优点的单一捐款选择。我们还观察到成功提供公共产品的倒u型趋势,为经验作为多重公共产品框架特有的焦点提供了证据。有效的协调人不会利用更大的贡献来解决协调困境,但他们会产生更高的收益。最后,授权证明是减少不协调风险的一种健全手段,只要代表在形式上有义务将转让的资源中足够高的百分比传递下去。我们讨论了我们的发现可能带来的影响。

The Effects of Staff-rotation in Public Administration on the Decision to Bribe or be Bribed 公共行政人员轮岗对贿赂或被贿赂决策的影响

Periodic rotation of staff in public administration may lead to lower corruption, as it disrupts long-term relationships between public officials and potential bribers. This paper proposes an experimental design that tests the anti-corruption effect of staff rotation in situations where public officials have committed to reciprocating bribes. We find that staff rotation does not influence the proportion of firms offering bribes but does reduce the share of bribe acceptance and inefficient decisions owing to bribery. The outcome of the staff-rotation treatment, in which firms offered bribes even though they were rarely accepted by officials, is consistent with the game having a quantal response equilibrium.
公共行政人员的定期轮换可能会减少腐败,因为它破坏了公职人员与潜在行贿者之间的长期关系。本文提出了一种实验设计,以检验公职人员存在相互贿赂行为时轮岗的反腐败效果。我们发现,员工轮岗不会影响行贿企业的比例,但会降低因贿赂而接受贿赂和低效决策的比例。员工轮换待遇的结果,即公司提供贿赂,即使他们很少被官员接受,与具有量子反应均衡的博弈一致。

Residential-based discrimination in the labor market 劳动力市场中基于居民的歧视
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.5817/wp_muni_econ_2022-06
Mikula Štěpán, Reggiani Tommaso
Through a correspondence study, this paper investigates whether employers discriminate job applicants based on their living conditions. Exploiting the natural setting provided by a Rapid Re-housing Program, we sent 1,347 job applications for low-qualified front-desk jobs in Brno, Czech Republic. The resumes exogenously differed in only one main aspect represented by the address of the applicants, signaling both the quality of the neighborhood and the quality of the housing conditions in which they were living. We found that while the higher quality of the district has a strong effect in increasing the hiring chances (+20%) the actual improvement of the living conditions standards, per se, does not generate any significant positive effect.
本文通过函电研究,考察了用人单位是否会根据应聘者的生活条件对其进行歧视。利用快速安置项目提供的自然环境,我们向捷克共和国布尔诺的低要求前台工作发出了1347份工作申请。这些简历只有一个主要方面存在外生差异,即申请人的地址,这表明了他们所居住的社区的质量和住房条件的质量。我们发现,虽然较高的地区质量对增加就业机会有很强的影响(+20%),但生活条件标准的实际改善本身并没有产生任何显著的积极影响。

Mind the framing when studying social preferences in the domain of losses 在研究损失领域的社会偏好时,请注意框架

There has been an increasing interest in altruistic behaviour in the domain of losses recently. Nevertheless, there is no consensus in whether the monetary losses make individuals more generous or more selfish. Although almost all relevant studies rely on a dictator game to study altruistic behaviour, the experimental designs of these studies differ in how the losses are framed, which may explain the diverging findings. Utilizing a dictator game, this paper studies the impact of loss framing on altruism. The main methodological result is that the dictators’ prosocial behaviour is sensitive to the loss frame they are embedded in. More specifically, in a dictator game in which the dictators have to share a loss between themselves and a recipient, the monetary allocations of the dictators are more benevolent than in a standard setting without a loss and in a dictator game in which the dictators have to share what remains of their endowments after a loss. These differences are explained by the different social norms that the respective loss frames invoke.
最近,人们对损失领域的利他行为越来越感兴趣。然而,对于金钱损失是使个人更慷慨还是更自私,人们并没有达成共识。尽管几乎所有相关研究都依赖于独裁者游戏来研究利他行为,但这些研究的实验设计在损失的框架上有所不同,这可能解释了不同的发现。利用一个独裁者博弈,研究了损失框架对利他行为的影响。主要的方法论结果是,独裁者的亲社会行为对他们所处的损失框架很敏感。更具体地说,在独裁者游戏中,独裁者必须在他们自己和接受者之间分担损失,独裁者的货币分配比没有损失的标准设置更仁慈,在独裁者游戏中,独裁者必须在损失后分享他们的剩余禀赋。这些差异是由各自的损失框架所引发的不同社会规范所解释的。

These differences are explained by the different social norms that the respective loss frames invoke.","PeriodicalId":188529,"journal":{"name":"MUNI ECON Working Papers","volume":"09 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125154901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental studies have modeled individual funding of social projects as contributions to a threshold public good. We examine donors’ behavior when they face multiple threshold public goods and the possibility of coordinating their contributions via an intermediary. Employing the experimental design developed in Corazzini, Cotton, and Reggiani (2020), we vary both the size of a ‘destination rule’, which places restrictions on the intermediary’s use of a donor’s funds, as well as the overhead cost of the intermediary, modeled as a sunk cost incurred by the intermediary whether or not any of the public goods are successfully funded. We show that subjects behave in line with equilibrium predictions with regard to the size of the destination rule, only increasing their contributions in the presence of a relatively high destination rule that prevents expropriation by the intermediary. However, we find that the positive effect of a high destination rule is undone in the presence of overhead sunk costs on the intermediary, thus providing evidence in favor of the sunk-cost bias and ‘overhead aversion’ that are commonly exhibited by donors exhibit when selecting charities.
实验研究将个人对社会项目的资助建模为对公共产品的贡献。我们考察了捐赠者面对多门槛公共产品时的行为,以及通过中介协调捐赠的可能性。采用Corazzini, Cotton和Reggiani(2020)开发的实验设计,我们改变了“目的地规则”的大小,该规则限制了中介机构对捐赠者资金的使用,以及中介机构的间接成本,无论任何公共产品是否获得成功资助,中介机构都会产生沉没成本。我们表明,受试者的行为与目标规则大小的均衡预测一致,只有在存在相对较高的目标规则以防止中介征用的情况下,才会增加他们的贡献。然而,我们发现高目标规则的积极作用在中介机构存在间接沉没成本的情况下被抵消,从而为捐助者在选择慈善机构时通常表现出的沉没成本偏见和“间接厌恶”提供了证据。
