Endogenous Preferences: The Cultural Consequences of Markets and Other Economic Institutions
综合实验经济学、人类学、社会心理学等多学科证据,考察经济制度如何通过塑造品味、选择框架、心理倾向和价值观来影响偏好形成,并讨论其对经济理论和政策分析的启示。
Drawing on experimental economics, anthropology, social psychology, sociology, history, the theory of cultural evolution as well as more conventional economic sources, I review models and evidence concerning the impact of economic institutions on preferences, broadly construed. I identify a number of ways in which the form of economic organization of a society appears to influence the process of human development by shaping tastes, the framing of choice situations, psychological dispositions, values, and other determinants of individual behavior. I conclude by commenting on some implications for economic theory and policy analysis.
