The study considers the effects of various socioeconomic factors, such as per capita income, social support, freedom to make life choices, perception of corruption, air pollution exposure, and gender inequality, on the level of happiness. We used panel two-way robust fixed effects and panel quantile regression for empirical analysis. The results show that per capita income, social support, and freedom to make life choices positively impact happiness, while air pollution exposure has a negative impact. However, gender inequality does not significantly affect happiness levels. These findings highlight the relevance of the Easterlin Paradox, which suggests that income can mediate happiness by promoting emotional well-being, gender equality, and a clean environment. Therefore, policymakers should focus on creating a more holistic approach to improving the well-being and happiness of its citizens.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214804324000272/pdfft?md5=b0493f0f5f76368dc6aa97f97f4959ea&pid=1-s2.0-S2214804324000272-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140015932","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 looks at this uncertainty from two different points of view. The first one is the way in which the IPCC deals with uncertainty in its reports, and the way in which that uncertainty is communicated. The IPCC approach is implemented using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods as well as heuristics. The IPCC studies climate change, its evolution, and its impact in a context which, in terms of the decision-making approach, is akin to analysis under risk. The second point of view is the one adopted by decision theory, which deals with uncertainty in the Knightian sense and, more specifically, with uncertainty that is manifested in multiple probabilistic models or priors. The presence of multiple priors is associated with ambiguity aversion and misspecification concerns that necessitate the use of maxmin optimizing approaches. The IPCC and the decision theory approaches are briefly reviewed and compared, with the objective of finding ways to accommodate the concept of risky parameters or impacts of the IPCC framework within the framework of optimization under uncertainty in multiple probabilistic models.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214804324000284/pdfft?md5=ce6ba503028506afd3e52a1e28ff7b7d&pid=1-s2.0-S2214804324000284-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139941750","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 article studies the effect of the incompleteness of a promise on the decision to keep the promise and on individual beliefs that are relevant for the social norm of keeping promises. It investigates, in a laboratory experiment, how individuals form beliefs about how promisors behave, how promisees expect promisors to behave, and how neutral individuals evaluate the immorality of breaking promises when a contingency that was not explicitly addressed by the promise materializes. Promisors distort their beliefs to breach without incurring guilt or moral costs when the promise is incomplete, but even neutral individuals believe that breach is more socially acceptable in this case. Results further reveal substantial heterogeneity in individual beliefs, providing insights into why people do not always respect a fundamental social norm such as keeping promises, at times violating it and at times keeping it.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214804324000223/pdfft?md5=1cca73863c8ea1720fd3af20a47764f6&pid=1-s2.0-S2214804324000223-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139743984","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}

To assess the magnitude of the demand, we conduct a meta-analysis of contingent valuation studies using a dataset of experimentally elicited and survey-based estimates.

We perform a meta-regression analysis to examine the heterogeneity in aggregate WTP across these studies. The meta-regression reveals that information about loss probability and probability levels positively influence relative willingness to pay, whereas respondents’ average income and age have a negative effect. Moreover, we identify cultural sub-factors, such as power distance and uncertainty avoidance, that provided additional explanations for differences in WTP across international samples. Methodological factors related to the sampling and data collection process significantly influence the stated WTP.

Conditional on a positive transfer being made, the average amount of transfers to each gender does not vary between genders, though. Once a charity recipient is added to the possible choices, overall transfers increase and gender differences in average giving mostly vanish, as the charity becomes the primary recipient for all participants. The literature on cognitive dissonance (the feeling of distress once we act against our internalised values) emphasises the importance of voluntary choice for dissonance effects to take hold. Accordingly, we interpret our results as hinting at an important detail regarding the ongoing gender debate about altruistic giving: primary differences may not be found in the amount of transfers made but in the choice of the beneficiary’s gender.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214804324000235/pdfft?md5=3fd920ba69ad31ca16eac0ae8cacd8cf&pid=1-s2.0-S2214804324000235-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139675078","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}
