Opposition to markets: Experimental evidence
通过实验研究人们反对市场制度的原因,发现背景特征影响反对程度,分配关切是重要因素,而风险偏好和父爱主义动机并非主因;不确定性面纱能增加对贸易制度的支持。
We experimentally investigate reasons for opposing market institutions. The experiment shows that opposition to implementing market institutions varies by background characteristics and shows that distributional concerns are a reason for opposing trade institutions. We find no evidence that the opposition to trade is due to risk preferences or paternalistic motives. A main driver of the opposition to trade is the information about background conditions: veils of uncertainty increase the support for the trade institution.
