Trust, reciprocity, and a preference for economic freedom: experimental evidence
通过独裁者博弈和信任博弈实验,发现偏好经济自由的人与偏好政府干预的人在信任、互惠和利他行为上存在显著差异。
Abstract: Do those who prefer economic freedom behave differently than those who prefer government intervention? Experiments of the Dictator and Trust games are studied. A survey elicits preference for private solutions to potential market failures. Trust and reciprocation are highest for those who score both high and low on the assessment. In the Dictator Game, there is a strong inverse relationship between one's preference for economic freedom and giving. Thus, the results can be interpreted as those with a strong preference for government intervention altruistically give, while those with a preference for economic freedom give primarily in response to wealth-generating investments.
