摘要

对金钱的渴望是当代社会个人最强烈的动机之一。本文着重于这种动机的刺激因素，特别考察了个人早年的饥饿经历对他们对金钱的渴望的影响。利用中国家庭调查小组研究的大型调查样本，我们发现，早年的饥饿经历会导致个人对金钱的渴望显著增加。进一步分析表明，性别、户口和个人收入水平等个人特征之间存在异质性效应。此外，我们发现饥饿体验效应与暴露年龄呈单调递减关系。这篇论文补充了现有的关于金钱欲望刺激的文献，并提出了一个潜在的中介，为什么过去的饥饿/饥荒经历会诱发患者在以后的生活中以金钱为导向的行为，正如以前的文献经常报道的那样。

Hunger for money: Early-life hunger experiences increase individual's desire for money

The desire for money is one of the strongest motivations for individuals in contemporary society. This paper focuses on the stimuli for such motivation, specifically examining the impact of individuals’ early-life hunger experiences on their desire for money. Utilizing a large survey sample extracted from the China Family Panel Studies, we find that early-life hunger experiences lead to a significant increase in individuals’ desire for money. Further analyses reveal that heterogeneous effects exist across personal characteristics, including gender, hukou, and personal income level. Moreover, we find that the hunger experience effect shows a monotonically decreasing relationship with exposure age. This paper complements the existing literature on stimuli for money desire and proposes a potential mediator for why past hunger/famine experiences induce money-oriented behaviors in sufferers’ later life, as frequently reported by previous literature.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics (formerly the Journal of Socio-Economics) welcomes submissions that deal with various economic topics but also involve issues that are related to other social sciences, especially psychology, or use experimental methods of inquiry. Thus, contributions in behavioral economics, experimental economics, economic psychology, and judgment and decision making are especially welcome. The journal is open to different research methodologies, as long as they are relevant to the topic and employed rigorously. Possible methodologies include, for example, experiments, surveys, empirical work, theoretical models, meta-analyses, case studies, and simulation-based analyses. Literature reviews that integrate findings from many studies are also welcome, but they should synthesize the literature in a useful manner and provide substantial contribution beyond what the reader could get by simply reading the abstracts of the cited papers. In empirical work, it is important that the results are not only statistically significant but also economically significant. A high contribution-to-length ratio is expected from published articles and therefore papers should not be unnecessarily long, and short articles are welcome. Articles should be written in a manner that is intelligible to our generalist readership. Book reviews are generally solicited but occasionally unsolicited reviews will also be published.
