摘要

我们报告了一项在线实验的结果，该实验研究了小群体（4 人）和大群体（200 人）中的捐赠偏好和全群体再分配偏好。我们发现，参与自愿捐赠的愿望会随着（感知到的）群体规模的扩大而显著降低。然而，据精确估计，对全群体再分配的投票并不取决于群体规模。此外，人们对相关群体的认知具有可塑性，也会影响他们的捐赠意愿。这些结果表明，政府项目（如累进税和转移支付制度）可以帮助满足他人对再分配的偏好，而创造自愿捐赠的机会则无法满足这种偏好。

The impact of group size on giving versus demand for redistribution

We report the results of an online experiment studying preferences for giving and preferences for group-wide redistribution in small (4-person) and large (200-person) groups. We find that the desire to engage in voluntary giving decreases significantly with (perceived) group size. However, voting for group-wide redistribution is precisely estimated to not depend on group size. Moreover, people’s perceptions of what constitutes the relevant group are malleable, and affect their desire to give. These results suggest that government programs, such as progressive tax-and-transfer systems, can help satisfy other-regarding preferences for redistribution in a way that creating opportunities for voluntary giving cannot.
