Empirical evidence on interdependent preferences: nature or nurture?
从神经科学、遗传学、跨文化和发展心理学角度，综述相互依赖偏好受环境因素显著影响的证据，对经济理论、政策和实验设计有重要启示。
This paper discusses empirical evidence for interdependent preferences from the point of view of the neurosciences, of heritability studies, and of cross-cultural and developmental psychology: it shows how interdependent preferences are determined to a significant degree by environmental factors. This result has meaningful implications for economic theory, policy and experimentation. A theory of interdependent preferences should also be a theory of their endogenous determination. Normative analyses ignore the endogeneity of interdependent preferences at their own peril. Caution is required in experimental analyses attempting to measure the distribution of interdependent preferences in the population.
