中文摘要

专制政权、民主多数、私人平台以及宗教或职业组织可以通过管理有关个体行为的信息流动来实现社会控制。将行为主体的政治、组织或宗教态度与其亲社会行为的信息捆绑,会使他们关注那些他们原本不会关注的行为。将个体的社会关系图纳入其社会评分,进一步促进了软控制,却破坏了社会结构。捆绑与连带归罪在一个联系薄弱且政治上顺从的社会中最为有效。(JEL D64, D72, D83, D91, K38, Z13)

Abstract

Autocratic regimes, democratic majorities, private platforms, and religious or professional organizations can achieve social control by managing the flow of information about individuals’ behavior. Bundling the agents’ political, organizational, or religious attitudes with information about their prosocial conduct makes them care about behaviors that they otherwise would not. The incorporation of the individuals’ social graph in their social score further promotes soft control but destroys the social fabric. Both bundling and guilt by association are most effective in a society that has weak ties and is politically docile. (JEL D64, D72, D83, D91, K38, Z13)
