Participatory budgeting and loss aversion: experimental evidence from China
通过实验操纵损失厌恶的两个维度（效价和占有），研究它们对中国公民参与参与式预算意愿的影响，发现两种损失厌恶形式均影响参与意愿，但线下会议比远程参与更难激励。
Participatory budgeting (PB) has been widely studied as a strategy to enhance civic engagement and strengthen local governance, yet citizens often remain reluctant to engage in PB activities. Drawing on Brenner et al. (2007), we manipulate two dimensions of loss aversion - valence and possession - to to examine their influence on citizens’ willingness to participate. Results show that both forms of loss aversion affect participation willingness, although in-person meetings are harder to motivate than remote participation. Moreover, willingness to participate in person is higher when citizens are randomly selected by the government rather than elected by residents.
