Are Hypothetical Referenda Incentive Compatible?
通过实验检验假设性公投是否激励相容,结果否定了该假设,对使用公投评估环境资源价值的方法提出质疑。
Hypothetical referenda have been proposed as an incentive-compatible mechanism that can be used to obtain social valuations of environmental resources. The authors employ experimental methods to test the hypothesis that such referenda are indeed incentive compatible. Their results lead them to reject that hypothesis.
