摘要

制度可能依赖于基本原则,例如法律哲学,但也可能根据制度适应性而发展,这是由社会福祉来衡量的。在我们的程式化框架中,平等和效率这两个基本原则相互冲突,三个参与者中的一个是第三方,他面对两个对称的共同参与者作为罪犯,并决定是歧视地制裁这两个罪犯还是平等地对待他们。基于均衡选择理论,我们推导了均衡解,并对我们的行为假设进行了实验验证。我们发现,两个罪犯之间的财富不对称让制裁代理人认为更富有的罪犯承担更多的责任。此外,我们的研究结果表明,当制裁主体的决策是可观察的,制裁两个罪犯歧视性诱导他们协调一个有效的结果。

When Efficiency Requires Arbitrary Discrimination: Theoretical and Experimental Analysis of Equilibrium Selection
Institutions may rely on fundamental principles, e.g., of legal philosophy, but may also have evolved according to institutional fitness, as gauged by a society’s well-being. In our stylized framework where two fundamental principles, equality and efficiency, conflict with each other, one of the three players is the third party who faces two symmetric co-players as culprits and determines whether to sanction the two culprits discriminatorily or treat them with parity. Relying on the theory of equilibrium selection, we derived equilibrium solutions and experimentally tested our behavioral hypotheses. We found that asymmetry in wealth between the two culprits let the sanctioning agent hold the richer culprit more responsible. Furthermore, our results demonstrated that when the sanctioning agent’s decision was observable, sanctioning the two culprits discriminatorily induced them to coordinate on an efficient outcome.

期刊介绍: Games (ISSN 2073-4336) is an international, peer-reviewed, quick-refereeing open access journal (free for readers), which provides an advanced forum for studies related to strategic interaction, game theory and its applications, and decision making. The aim is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for all behavioral sciences and related fields, including economics, psychology, political science, mathematics, computer science, and biology (including animal behavior). To guarantee a rapid refereeing and editorial process, Games follows standard publication practices in the natural sciences.
