Abstract

I study the impact identity change (assimilation) has on economic mobility. I experimentally assign people to different group identities, majority or minority, before they interact in a social coordination setting. In equilibrium, minority assimilators achieve economic mobility by integrating with the majority. In the experiment, assimilators are discriminated against and cannot integrate, if majority members encounter conformists (non-assimilators) in the minority. Thus, assimilators fail to attain economic mobility because those who maintain the status quo impose negative externalities on those who risk changing it.

身份变化与经济流动性:实验证据
我研究的是身份变化(同化)对经济流动性的影响。我通过实验将人们分配到不同的群体身份,多数群体或少数群体,然后再让他们在社会协调环境中互动。在均衡状态下,少数群体同化者通过融入多数群体实现经济流动。在实验中,如果多数成员遇到少数成员中的守成者(非同化者),同化者就会受到歧视,无法融入。因此,同化者无法实现经济流动,因为维持现状的人对冒险改变现状的人施加了负外部性。
