摘要

性别歧视存在于各个领域，但识别其潜在机制具有挑战性。我们在一个场景中展示了自己的性别偏好，这个场景允许对品味和信仰进行清晰的识别:电视节目《价格是对的》中的“一次出价”游戏。玩家必须猜出一件物品的价值，但不能超过它的价值，最后一个出价者有一个优势的“截止”策略，即出价比另一个玩家高${\$}$1。我们发现，最后的竞标者明显更有可能切断异性对手。这种行为被解释为对自己性别的偏爱，而不是认为切断异性对手的联系更有利可图。

Taste-Based Gender Favouritism in High Stakes Decisions: Evidence from The Price Is Right

Abstract Gender discrimination is present across various fields, but identifying the underlying mechanism is challenging. We demonstrate own-gender favouritism in a field setting that allows for clean identification of tastes versus beliefs: the One Bid game on the TV show The Price Is Right. Players must guess an item’s value without exceeding it, leaving the last bidder with a dominant ‘cutoff’ strategy of overbidding another player by ${\$}$1. We show that last bidders are significantly more likely to cut off opposite-gender opponents. This behaviour is explained by own-gender favouritism rather than beliefs that cutting off opposite-gender opponents is more profitable.
