Abstract

This paper investigates whether experiences of living in a communist regime relate to low market earnings. We recruit North Korean refugees and measure their implicit bias against South Korea by using the Implicit Association Test. Conducting double auction and bilateral bargaining market experiments, we find that North Korean refugees with a larger bias against South Korea have lower expectations about their earning potential, exhibit trading behavior with lower target profits, and earn less profits. These associations are robust to conditioning on correlates of preferences, human capital, and assimilation experiences.

朝鲜难民对韩国的隐性偏见可预测市场收益
本文研究了生活在共产主义制度下的经历是否与低市场收入有关。我们招募了朝鲜难民,并通过内隐关联测试测量了他们对韩国的内隐偏见。在进行双重拍卖和双边讨价还价的市场实验时,我们发现对韩国有较大偏见的朝鲜难民对其收入潜力的预期较低,表现出目标利润较低的交易行为,并且赚取的利润较少。这些关联在与偏好、人力资本和同化经历相关的条件下是稳健的。
