Euro-Illusion: A Natural Experiment
通过收集教堂捐款数据,评估欧元纸币和硬币的引入是否对捐款产生了实际影响。意大利数据显示货币并非完全中性,爱尔兰数据表明货币幻觉程度较低,欧洲大陆的小数据集则揭示了不同类型的货币幻觉。
We collect and analyse data on church collections to assess whether the introduction of Euro notes and coins had real effects on giving. Data for Italy suggests that money is not completely neutral while Irish data suggests a lower degree of money illusion. A smaller data set from continental Europe suggests different sorts of money illusion.
