摘要

我们在实验室实验中研究了死亡率显著性如何影响人们的时间偏好和亲社会行为。我们通过给治疗组的受试者布置网格任务,使死亡率变得突出,并在安德烈奥尼-米勒独裁者游戏中研究了死亡率对利他奉献的影响。我们发现,引子使受试者考虑得更多,更关心整体社会福利,但并不一定使他们更关心对手的福利本身。只有当付出的代价较低时,治疗组的受试者才会变得更加利他。我们建立了一个两期模型来解释研究结果的机制。我们的模型表明,诱导是通过改变受试者的时间偏好和社会偏好参数来改变利他捐赠的。最后,我们通过证明引物不会改变受试者的情绪来强化我们的发现。

Life is too short to be small: An experiment on mortality salience and prosocial behavior

We study how mortality salience influences people's time preference and prosocial behavior in a laboratory experiment. We made mortality salient through priming subjects in the treatment group with grid tasks, and studied its impact on altruistic giving in an Andreoni-Miller dictator game. We found that the priming made subjects think bigger, and become more concerned with the overall social welfare, though it did not necessarily make them care more about their opponents' well-being per se. Subjects in the treatment group became more altruistic only when the price of giving is low. We built a two-period model to explain the mechanism of the findings. Our model showed that the priming altered altruistic giving through changing the subjects' time preference and social preference parameters. Finally, we strengthened our findings by showing that the priming didn't change subjects' mood.

期刊介绍: The China Economic Review publishes original works of scholarship which add to the knowledge of the economy of China and to economies as a discipline. We seek, in particular, papers dealing with policy, performance and institutional change. Empirical papers normally use a formal model, a data set, and standard statistical techniques. Submissions are subjected to double-blind peer review.
