中文摘要

在一项新颖的大规模实验中,我们研究了上海(中国)和挪威两个社会中的成年人如何做出涉及儿童的真实分配决策。我们发现,对儿童间不平等的接受度随儿童年龄的增长而增加,受不平等来源和再分配成本的影响,且低于对成人间不平等的接受度。我们记录了不平等接受度上较大的跨社会差异:与挪威的成年人相比,上海的成年人在儿童间实施的不平等程度是前者的两倍。最后,我们表明,接受儿童间不平等的意愿能够预测对儿童政策的态度。

Abstract

Abstract In a novel large-scale experiment, we study how adults in two societies, Shanghai (China) and Norway, make real distributive decisions involving children. We find that acceptance of inequality between children increases with the ages of the children, is affected by the source of inequality and the cost of redistribution, and is lower than acceptance of inequality between adults. We document a large cross-societal difference in inequality acceptance: adults in Shanghai implement twice as much inequality between children compared with adults in Norway. Finally, we show that the willingness to accept inequality between children is predictive of attitudes to child policies.
