摘要

自信通常被视为成功的关键。然而,关于这种关于个人能力的信念如何因果地映射到行动中的经验证据却很少。在本文中,我们通过实验研究了对自己能力的信心增加对劳动力市场中工人所做的两个中心选择的因果影响:在不同激励方案的工作之间进行选择,以及随后在工作中付出多少努力的选择。外生信心的增加导致受试者倾向于选择严重依赖能力的支付方案。这对低能力的工人是有害的。讨论了政策影响。

Confidence and Career Choices: An Experiment
Confidence is often seen as the key to success. Empirical evidence about how such beliefs about one\'s abilities causally map into actions is, however, sparse. In this paper, we experimentally investigate the causal effect of an increase in confidence about one\'s own ability on two central choices made by workers in the labor market: choosing between jobs with different incentive schemes, and the subsequent choice of how much effort to exert within the job. An exogenous increase in confidence leads to an increase in subjects\' propensity to choose payment schemes that depend heavily on ability. This is detrimental for low ability workers. Policy implications are discussed.
