Economic behavior of children and adolescents – A first survey of experimental economics results
综述了约15年来儿童与青少年经济实验的研究进展，涵盖理性选择、风险偏好、时间偏好、社会偏好、合作与竞争，并分析年龄、性别及社会经济地位的影响，为理解成人经济行为和政策干预提供基础。
About 15 years ago, economic experiments with children and adolescents were considered as an extravagant niche of economic research. Since then, this type of research has exploded in scope and depth. It has become clear that studying the development of economic behavior and its determinants is important to understand economic behavior of adults and to provide a basis for potential policy interventions with respect to economic behavior in childhood and adolescence. Given the huge increase of papers, we provide the first overview of economic experiments with children and adolescents. We focus on the following aspects: rationality of choices, risk preferences, time preferences, social preferences, cooperation, and competitiveness. All of these aspects are analyzed with respect to the influence of age and gender, and we also consider the role of socio-economic status or interventions.
