Behavior in a Spatially Explicit Groundwater Resource: Evidence from the Lab
通过实验室实验，研究了地下水模型的水文地质特性如何影响人们的抽水决策，发现模型的空间显式性会减少短视行为。
This research uses laboratory experiments to examine how hydrogeologic properties of groundwater models influence decision making. The results reveal that pumping rates are highest when the underlying model is such that the future costs of groundwater use are broadcast evenly to all users, as a majority of participants behave myopically. There is less myopic behavior when the groundwater dynamics are governed by spatially explicit models, where the private cost of groundwater use is high relative to external costs. These results suggest that models used to simulate common‐pool resource dynamics play an important role in determining both economic predictions and behavioral outcomes.
