Buyers in online markets pay higher prices to sellers who promise a high-quality product in auctions of used goods, even though they cannot assess quality until after the sale. The principal argument offered in prior work is that reputation systems render sellers’ ‘cheap talk’ credible by allowing buyers to publicly rate sellers’ past honesty and sellers to build a reputation for being honest. We test this argument using both observational data from online auctions on eBay and an internet experiment. Strikingly, in both studies we find that unverifiable promises are trusted by buyers regardless of seller reputation or the presence of a reputation system, and sellers mostly refuse to take advantage. We conclude that the prevailing conception of markets in economic sociology as made possible by opportunism-curtailing institutions is “undersocialized”: Reputation systems may be used to identify more reliable providers of a product, but that they would be needed to prevent otherwise rampant deceit relies on a cynical assumption about human behavior that is empirically untenable.
在线市场上的买家向卖家支付更高的价格,这些卖家在二手商品拍卖中承诺提供高质量的产品,尽管他们在拍卖后才能评估质量。先前工作中提出的主要论点是,声誉系统通过允许买家公开评价卖家过去的诚实程度,让卖家建立诚实的声誉,从而使卖家的“廉价言论”可信。我们使用eBay上在线拍卖的观测数据和互联网实验来检验这一论点。引人注目的是,在这两项研究中,我们都发现,无论卖家的声誉或是否存在声誉系统,无法核实的承诺都会受到买家的信任,而卖家大多拒绝利用。我们得出的结论是,经济社会学中盛行的市场概念是“社会化不足”的:声誉系统可以用来识别更可靠的产品供应商,但需要它们来防止猖獗的欺骗行为,这依赖于对人类行为的愤世嫉俗的假设,而这种假设在经验上是站不住脚的。

This paper presents a model to identify why, for some, the expression of liberal attitudes towards the LGBT population may be strategic rather than sincere. We show that the British population displays considerably more tolerant views towards homosexuality compared to the end of the 1980s. However, there is evidence that this has slowed in recent years, especially in areas that have experienced the highest levels of immigration, particularly from countries outside Europe. We explain these changes with reference to two effects that immigration/multiculturalism may have – direct cultural and indirect political effects – the latter manifested in selective liberalisation such that for some members of the in-group adopting a liberal attitude towards a group that was once the salient out-group (in this case the LGBT population) generates greater benefits for the in-group by creating disutility for the currently salient out-group (in this case culturally conservative religious minorities and immigrants). We explore both influences using survey data and find strong evidence for the first effect and suggestive support for the second effect.
本文提出了一个模型来确定为什么对一些人来说,对LGBT人群表达自由主义态度可能是战略性的,而不是真诚的。我们发现,与20世纪80年代末相比,英国民众对同性恋的看法要宽容得多。然而,有证据表明,近年来这种情况有所放缓,尤其是在移民人数最多的地区,尤其是来自欧洲以外国家的移民。我们参照移民/多元文化可能产生的两种影响来解释这些变化——直接的文化影响和间接的政治影响——后者表现为选择性的自由化,因此,对于一些对曾经是突出群体的群体(在这种情况下是LGBT人群)采取自由主义态度的内部群体成员来说通过为目前突出的群体(在这种情况下是文化保守的宗教少数群体和移民)制造分裂,在群体中。我们利用调查数据探讨了这两种影响,发现了第一种影响的有力证据和第二种影响的暗示支持。

Self-Interest, prosociality, and the moral cognition of markets: A comparative analysis of the Theory of Moral Sentiments and the Wealth of Nations 自利、亲社会与市场的道德认知:《道德情操论》与《国富论》的比较分析

In this paper, we perform a text analysis of Adam Smith’s two books, the Theory of Moral Sentiments and the Wealth of Nations, to better characterize their highly disputed differences in terms of moral cognition. In particular, given that Smith’s ideas are still very cited and influential in the current scholarly debate on moral cognition, we are interested in understanding whether a text analysis would unveil a semantic structure that is in line with a dual process theory interpretation or, alternatively, with a neuro-emergent cognition one. We find that, despite that the intellectual koine in which Smith’s thought was originally embedded would be more in line with a dual process theory approach, the analysis reveals a better consonance with the neuro-emergent cognition approach. This opens new and interesting perspectives in future research on the moral cognition of market interactions in a Smithian tradition of thought.
在本文中,我们对亚当·斯密的两本书《道德情操论》和《国富论》进行文本分析,以更好地描述它们在道德认知方面备受争议的差异。特别是,鉴于史密斯的思想在当前关于道德认知的学术辩论中仍然被广泛引用和影响,我们有兴趣了解文本分析是否会揭示符合双重过程理论解释的语义结构,或者,与神经涌现认知一致。我们发现,尽管史密斯思想最初嵌入的智力联系更符合双重过程理论方法,但分析显示与神经涌现认知方法更好地协调一致。这为史密斯思想传统中市场互动的道德认知的未来研究开辟了新的和有趣的视角。

Can misfortune lead to dishonesty? 不幸会导致不诚实吗?

This article focuses on why people may become dishonest when they are unfortunate. Studies have shown that dishonesty increases in unfortunate or unfair situations, suggesting that misfortune could be used as a self-serving justification. I investigate this effect by analyzing the effect of luck on participant dishonesty in a laboratory experiment. I also control for participants’ belief about others’ honesty in fortunate and unfortunate situations. Participants were more dishonest when they were unfortunate and expected other participants to be more dishonest in similarly unfortunate situations. The similarity of the effects of fortune on expected and actual behaviors suggests that this norm can facilitate self-serving justification. The frequency of dishonest behavior was associated with higher individuals’ beliefs in others’ dishonesty. This effect was particularly important for participants who believed that others would have been dishonest even in fortunate situations. It therefore appears that the justification depends both on being unfortunate and the fact that some people assume others do not behave honestly even when they are fortunate.
这篇文章的重点是为什么人们在不幸的时候会变得不诚实。研究表明,在不幸或不公平的情况下,不诚实会增加,这表明不幸可以被用作自私的理由。我通过在实验室实验中分析运气对参与者不诚实的影响来研究这种影响。我还控制了参与者在幸运和不幸的情况下对他人诚实的信念。参与者在不幸时更不诚实,并期望其他参与者在同样不幸的情况下更不诚实。财富对预期行为和实际行为的影响相似,这表明这种规范可以促进自我辩护。不诚实行为的频率与较高的个人对他人不诚实的信念有关。这种影响对于那些认为他人即使在幸运的情况下也会不诚实的参与者来说尤其重要。因此,理由似乎既取决于不幸,也取决于一些人认为其他人即使在幸运的时候也不诚实。

Lethality and deterrence in affairs of honor: The case of the Antebellum U.S. South 荣誉事务中的杀伤力和威慑力:以南北战争前的美国南方为例

Duels remained an important and surprisingly common means of settling disputes in the American South until after the Civil War. We examine two historical puzzles. First, why did dueling persist as a preferred tool to resolve conflicts in the South? Second, why did duelers use relatively inaccurate weapons when deadlier weapons were available? We construct a game theoretic model and conduct simulation exercises to find the following results. One, when the public views dueling as an appropriate means of mitigating the effects of libel, then it encourages socially desirable behavior such as reduced libel and more moderate behavior. Two, a sufficiently high mortality rate may deter libel without resulting in many dueling deaths. Third, if mortality rates are too high, dueling is no longer an effective institution. We compile a novel data set of newspaper accounts of duels from digitized archives to present empirical evidence that buttresses our insights from the model.
直到南北战争之后,决斗仍然是美国南方解决争端的一种重要且令人惊讶的普遍方式。我们来研究两个历史难题。首先,为什么决斗一直是解决南方冲突的首选工具?第二,为什么当有更致命的武器时,决斗者会使用相对不准确的武器?我们建立了一个博弈论模型,并进行了模拟练习,得到了以下结果。第一,当公众认为决斗是减轻诽谤影响的适当手段时,它就会鼓励社会期望的行为,如减少诽谤和更温和的行为。第二,足够高的死亡率可能会阻止诽谤,而不会导致许多人死亡。第三,如果死亡率太高,决斗就不再是一种有效的制度。我们从数字化档案中编制了一套关于决斗的报纸报道的新数据集,以提供实证证据,支持我们从模型中获得的见解。

Are upper-secondary track decisions risky? Evidence from Sweden on the assumptions of risk-aversion models 高中阶段的决策有风险吗?瑞典关于风险规避模型假设的证据

Relative risk aversion (RRA) models explain social class inequalities in education with risk avoidance, i.e., the risky choice assumption (RCA). This assumption concerns risks related to more ambitious educational choices and has been subject to little explicit scrutiny. In this paper, we test whether or not vocational education is a safety net that protects from labor market marginalization. We present an empirical assessment of upper-secondary track choices in Sweden, contrasting the vocational and the academic tracks for those not pursuing tertiary educational degrees. We use Swedish administrative data for all siblings born 1972–1980 and fit sibling fixed effects models netting out unobserved time-constant confounders. The only evidence in favor of the RCA is that when considering selection, graduates of the academic track without a tertiary degree initially face higher risks of not being stably employed and registered as unemployed in their early 20s than their counterparts from vocational education. However, the academic tracks significantly protect men from the threat of entering unskilled routine occupations. We conclude that the support for the RCA is scant at best.
相对风险规避(RRA)模型用风险规避来解释教育中的社会阶层不平等,即风险选择假设(RCA)。这一假设涉及与更雄心勃勃的教育选择相关的风险,几乎没有受到明确的审查。在本文中,我们测试了职业教育是否是一个保护劳动力市场不被边缘化的安全网。我们对瑞典的高中课程选择进行了实证评估,对比了那些不追求高等教育学位的人的职业和学术课程。我们使用了1972年至1980年出生的所有兄弟姐妹的瑞典管理数据,并拟合了消除未观察到的时间常数混杂因素的兄弟姐妹固定效应模型。支持RCA的唯一证据是,在考虑选拔时,没有高等学历的学术领域毕业生最初面临着比职业教育毕业生更高的风险,即在20岁出头时无法稳定就业和登记失业。然而,学术轨道在很大程度上保护了男性免受进入非技术性常规职业的威胁。我们得出的结论是,对RCA的支持充其量是很少的。

The King’s Gambit: Rationalizing the fall of the Templars 国王的甘比特:合理化圣殿骑士的堕落

What can the fall of the Knights Templars teach us about medieval institutions? We highlight that the Templar’s annihilation results from the institutional shock of Pope Clement V’s decision to relocate the papacy from Italy to France. Prior to the relocation, an equilibrium persisted for more than a century where the Templars made loans to more powerful kings, with the reassurance that they were protected by the Church. The decision of Pope Clement V to relocate the papacy to France altered the Church’s relationship with the French Crown and imposed substantial constraints on the Church’s ability to safeguard one of its most important monastic orders, the Knights Templar. In a dynamic game scenario, we model Clement V and Philip IV’s decision making, emphasizing important choices that led to the Knights Templar’s demise. This historical episode illustrates the relationship between credible commitments and religious legitimacy, and the precarious and personal nature of pre-modern political institutions.
圣殿骑士团的垮台能教会我们什么关于中世纪制度的知识?我们强调,圣殿骑士团的灭亡源于教皇克莱门特五世决定将教皇职位从意大利迁至法国的制度冲击。在搬迁之前,一种平衡持续了一个多世纪,圣殿骑士团向更强大的国王贷款,并保证他们受到教会的保护。教皇克莱门特五世将教皇职位迁至法国的决定改变了教会与法国王室的关系,并对教会维护其最重要的修道院之一圣殿骑士团的能力施加了实质性的限制。在一个动态的游戏场景中,我们模拟了克莱门特五世和菲利普四世的决策,强调了导致圣殿骑士团灭亡的重要选择。这一历史事件说明了可信承诺与宗教合法性之间的关系,以及前现代政治制度的不稳定和个人性质。

Does money strengthen our social ties? Longitudinal evidence of lottery winners 金钱能加强我们的社会联系吗?彩票中奖者的纵向证据

We study the effect of lottery wins on the strength of social ties and its different types, including support networks, in the United Kingdom. On average, we find that winning more in the lottery increases the probability of meeting friends on most days, which is consistent with the complementary effect of income on the strength of social ties. The opposite is true with regards to social ties held for more instrumental reasons such as talking to neighbours. Winning more in the lottery also lessens an individual support network consistently with a substitution of income and support network. However, further robustness checks reveal that such average lottery effects are driven by individuals exhibiting very large wins only, thus suggesting that small to medium-sized wins (below £10k) may not be enough to change people’s social ties and support network in a substantial way.
我们在英国研究了彩票中奖对社会关系及其不同类型的影响,包括支持网络。平均而言,我们发现,在大多数日子里,彩票中奖越多,结识朋友的可能性就越大,这与收入对社会关系强度的互补效应是一致的。与此相反的是,由于更多的工具原因(如与邻居交谈)而建立的社会关系。在彩票中赢得更多也减少了个人支持网络,与收入和支持网络的替代一致。然而,进一步的稳健性检查显示,这种平均彩票效应仅由表现出非常大的奖金的个人驱动,因此表明中小型奖金(低于1万英镑)可能不足以以实质性的方式改变人们的社会关系和支持网络。

Camouflage: A dominant reaction to worsening conditions 伪装:对环境恶化的主要反应
IF 1 4区 社会学 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-02-15 DOI: 10.1177/10434631231157588

Individuals choose camouflage as a dominant response when a state’s political conditions worsen, particularly when a democracy turns authoritarian. Individuals hide their private preferences to survive under oppressive regimes. This paper argues that in many circumstances camouflage is the most rational, cost-minimizing reaction to oppression. The paper identifies five kinds of costs that induce individuals to resort to four different ideal types of camouflage: (1) avoidance of contact, (2) minimal participation, (3) restricted cooperation, and (4) full engagement with the oppressive regime. Camouflage is particularly advantageous as the costs of exit or voice are often high. Therefore, a large majority of citizens disagreeing with the ideology and policies of a regime are likely to camouflage.
当一个国家的政治状况恶化时,特别是当一个民主国家变成独裁国家时,个人选择伪装作为主要反应。个人为了在压迫性政权下生存而隐藏自己的私人偏好。本文认为,在许多情况下,伪装是对压迫最理性、成本最低的反应。本文确定了促使个人求助于四种不同理想伪装的五种成本:(1)避免接触,(2)最低限度的参与,(3)有限的合作,以及(4)与压迫政权充分接触。伪装是特别有利的,因为退出或发言的成本通常很高。因此,绝大多数不同意政权意识形态和政策的公民可能会伪装起来。

In this article, we systematically review the literature on the ethics of nudging. Since the publication of the book Nudge by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein in 2008, a rich literature has been developed on the question whether it is ethical to nudge people. This is an important area for research as nudges are commonly used by governments and private corporations to alter the behaviour of citizens and consumers. In order to gain a complete overview of this literature, we conduct a systematic search of academic sources. We investigate which ethical issues with nudging are discussed. We find four major ethical issues, namely worries regarding 1) autonomy, 2) welfare, 3) long-term adverse effects, and 4) democracy and deliberation. We discuss each ethical issue by highlighting how it is defined, what the critique constitutes, what its sub-issues are, and which defences of nudging have been argued for. In this way, the systematic literature review provides a comprehensive overview of the literature on the ethics of nudging to date. The results of our systematic review contribute to a better understanding of the ethical issues with nudging, as well as of the current state of the literature on these topics.
在这篇文章中,我们系统地回顾了有关轻推伦理的文献。自Richard Thaler和Cass Sunstein于2008年出版《Nudge》一书以来,关于推动人们是否合乎道德的问题,已经形成了丰富的文献。这是一个重要的研究领域,因为政府和私营公司通常使用推送来改变公民和消费者的行为。为了全面了解这些文献,我们对学术来源进行了系统的检索。我们调查讨论了哪些与轻推有关的道德问题。我们发现了四个主要的伦理问题,即对1)自主性的担忧,2)福利,3)长期不利影响,以及4)民主和审议。我们通过强调它是如何定义的、批判构成了什么、它的子问题是什么以及对轻推的辩护是有争议的来讨论每一个伦理问题。通过这种方式,系统的文献综述提供了对迄今为止有关推送伦理的文献的全面概述。我们系统综述的结果有助于更好地理解轻推的伦理问题,以及这些主题的文献现状。
