Motivated by observational evidence from large-scale traffic violation data in a major city in China, we investigate the impact of social identity on rule-following behavior. We empirically showed that traffic violations are significantly <em>less</em> severe when individuals drive in foreign cities rather than the local city where the car is registered, a phenomenon we describe as the “compliance minority effect”. We next conducted a laboratory experiment with a street-crossing task, to further investigate the key drivers behind the compliance minority phenomenon. We found that participants exhibit more rule compliance when identifying as an outgroup minority than a local majority only when both observability and social sanctions are at play. Participants form the prior belief that being part of a minority in the community is associated with a higher chance of being monitored and punished than when they are part of the local majority, which is consistent with the posterior observations. Our results suggest that majorities can enforce augmented social norms on minority groups through an interplay of observability and punishment, which could lead to unintended consequences of <em>local privilege</em> that hamper the equality and efficiency of society.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"231 ","pages":"Article 106930"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143429066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper studies the effects of banking expansion on dowry payments and domestic violence in India. Using a fuzzy regression discontinuity design, we present robust evidence that financial inclusion brought about by banking expansion reduces dowry-related deaths and cruelty by husbands. We propose two primary mechanisms underlying this relationship. First, banking expansion enhances the ability of the bride's family to make higher cash payments and more wedding gifts to the groom's family at the time of marriage, often known as dowry. Second, banking expansion empowered women as reflected by better education outcomes for girls. Additionally, by enhancing the household's ability to make dowry payments and improving girls’ education outcomes, banking expansion led to better spouse quality as measured by their education and earnings, reducing the likelihood of domestic violence.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"231 ","pages":"Article 106933"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143419657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper first examines how individuals adjust their healthcare spending when receiving additional transfers to their MSAs. Using a comprehensive monthly longitudinal survey and a staggered difference-in-differences design, I find that individuals increase their monthly medical expenditure by 13 %, with the marginal propensity to consume from MSAs estimated at 0.6. Second, I analyze the impact of a 25 % price reduction for services at General Practitioner (GP) Clinics and Specialist Outpatient Clinics (SOCs) on healthcare utilization. The results show that MSA holders increase their medication spending by 10.7 % at the extensive margin in response to the price reduction. These findings suggest that both MSA top-ups and price reductions lead to increased healthcare utilization, indicating that MSA holders may respond to these financial incentives by consuming more healthcare in the present, prioritizing immediate healthcare needs over future savings. While this behavior may reflect moral hazard within MSAs, it may also point to unmet healthcare needs that are being addressed through increased liquidity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"231 ","pages":"Article 106938"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143419656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study leverages this quasi-natural experiment to estimate both the immediate and longer-term effects of the imposition and subsequent lifting of these sanctions. Utilizing administrative data encompassing all Turkish exporters, we first examine the impact on trade at the firm level, assessing the direct effects of the embargo, the redirection of trade to alternative markets, and the circumvention through other products. Second, we investigate broader repercussions on domestic operations, including firms’ sales, procurement, and employment. Our findings show that while the embargo caused immediate and substantial declines in exports of affected products to Russia, firms partially mitigated these losses through trade diversion. Although relative trade patterns normalized post-sanctions, absolute trade values remained subdued. The analysis reveals that affected firms experienced declines in domestic sales and supplier relationships, with temporary disruptions in employment. However, most negative effects dissipated following the embargo’s removal, except for some persistent reductions in procurement and supplier links, likely linked to persistent lower trade volumes after the lifting of the embargo.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"231 ","pages":"Article 106821"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143419659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that relative to less eco-conscious firms, highly eco-conscious firms derive greater green revenues post-centralization. This finding is robust to underlying firm characteristics and unobservable industry- and time-specific heterogeneity. Regional internet infrastructure development and corporate greenwashing mitigation facilitate the effect on highly eco-conscious firms’ green revenues, suggesting that effective centralized monitoring relies on an integrated information transmission network and an improvement in firms’ genuine environmental accountability.
