摘要

经济偏好通常被认为是给定的,但有证据表明,偏好会对生活事件做出反应,并随着时间而变化。我们研究了一组大学生在5年的时间里对他人的偏好的演变,从他们入学前开始,一直持续到毕业后一年。通过调查和偏好的激励措施,我们发现利他主义在大学期间有所下降。这种下降反映在三次捐赠机会的慈善捐赠的变化上。我们排除了对观察到的变化的几种替代解释,包括队列差异、对慈善机构的看法和实验经验。我们在慈善捐赠中展示了“捐赠类型”的证据,在捐赠机会中表现出一致性。在方法上,我们也表明激励措施和调查措施在预测捐赠类型方面是相似的。我们的结论是,随着时间的推移,偏好反映了共同的趋势,同时显示出大学期间慷慨程度的总体下降。

The evolution of preferences and charitable giving: a panel study of the university years
Abstract Economic preferences are often taken as given, yet evidence shows that preferences respond to life events and change over time. We examine the evolution of other-regarding preferences for a cohort of university students over 5 years, starting before they matriculate and extending one year beyond graduation. Using survey and incentivized measures of preferences, we show that altruism declines over the university years. This decline is reflected in changes in charitable giving over three donation opportunities. We rule out several alternative explanations for the observed change, including cohort differences, perceptions of the charities, and experience with experiments. We show evidence of a ‘giving type’ in charitable giving, with consistency in behavior across giving opportunities. Methodologically, we also show that the incentivized and survey measures are similar at predicting giving types. We conclude that preferences reflect common tendencies over time, while simultaneously showing an overall decline in generosity during the university years.
